Spijkenisse
  
Spijkenisse is situated in the province of
Zuid-Holland, in the Netherlands, on the island of Voorne-Putten, about 10 miles west of Rotterdam.
It is a young town with approximately 75,000 inhabitants.
Over the past forty years, Spijkenisse has developed from a small village to a medium-sized town, with large, child-friendly housing estates, a high standard of facilities, a wide range of clubs and societies, various shopping centres, extensive parks and large industrial estates.
Spijkenisse is situated in an area rich in contrasts. On the one side it borders on bustling Rotterdam, the world's largest port.
On the other side there are picturesque little towns, spacious recreational areas and a unique countryside, all within cycling distance.
The town itself is also characterized by contrasts.
For example, there is the alternation between metropolitan housing estates and convivial village communities.
Even the location of the quiet Center Park, directly situated next to the island's busiest transport hub - Spijkenisse Centrum metro and bus station - can be described as a rich contrast.
A stable element in all this dynamism is the constant flow of the Old Maas, the river along which banks the town of Spijkenisse is based.
