Provincial Domain Kessel-Lo

The domain offers a varied range of activities for the whole family: fishing ponds, diverse playgrounds, football pitches, tennis courts, a skate park and extensive walking and cycling paths through woods and meadows. It is a favourite spot for residents of Leuven and visitors from the wider region to relax and enjoy nature.
Wheelchair accessibility has been well developed. Designated parking spaces are available for visitors with disabilities. The main paths through the domain are paved and provide comfortable passage for wheelchairs. Various exercise stations along the fitness trails have been designed to be wheelchair accessible.
