The Bentinckspark is a sports park in Hoogeveen, the Netherlands . It is named after the Bentinck family who acquired 400 acres of land in 1631  . This area was then called Benticksveen and a road that cut through this area was called Bentincksdijk. A five- hectare sports park was established on this street in 1953 and consisted only of soccer fields. Expanded in the 1960s and rebuilt between 2010 and 2012, the sports park now covers 40 hectares and is no longer only used for football, but also for other sports. He serves the Hoogeveen football clubs HZVV (since 1953) and VV Hoogeveen(since 1969) as home ground and has already hosted international matches, both for the Dutch national soccer team for women and for the Dutch youth soccer team for men.

The "old" Bentinckspark

The old Bentickspark consisted of two parts that were not created at the same time. In 1953, a five-hectare sports field was inaugurated in the western part of today's sports park, which was rented to the HZVV . In the 1960s the Bentinckspark was expanded because VV Hoogeveen also needed a home ground. It was a common sports park, which, however, consisted of two self-contained parts for the two clubs, which were separated by a street (Sportveldenweg) and a parking lot. In the 2000s, the sports park consisted of a total of eleven large-field football pitches, five of which were on the grounds of the HZVV and six on the grounds of the VV Hoogeveen . The largest square on the site (on the part of VV Hoogeveen) had a spectator capacity of 8225 seats, 475 of which were covered seats.

The "new" Bentinckspark

Since the early 2000s, Hoogeveen has been considering converting the Bentinckspark. From 2011 to 2012 a new soccer park was built on the previous part of the VV Hoogeveen for both soccer clubs. This has seven large-field pitches (four of which have artificial turf) and two small-field pitches. It was possible to reduce the number of spaces because the adjacent spaces in the joint sports park can be used by both clubs. However, each club has a stadium, which is also adjoined by a building which houses the canteen, a business and conference room as well as the changing rooms. The VV Hoogeveen stadium has a capacity of 6000 spectators (including 500 covered seats and the same number of covered standing places) and is equipped with FIFA-certified artificial turf and floodlights. The HZVV stadium has seating for 5000 spectators.

Sports halls, an athletics field (see below) and a beach volleyball field will be built on the part of the building that served the HZVV as a playground until 2012. A school is also being built on the site. The school grounds of another school, which is located south of the "old" Bentinckspark, will be integrated into the park, which is why the area is also known as the Campus onderwijs & sport Bentinckspark (Campus Education and Sports Bentickspark). The area will also be expanded to the north in the next few years, with spaces for hockey , basketball , korfball and jeu des boules , as well as a playground, a jogging track, a lawn and fishing opportunities.

Athletics stadium

One of the highlights of the new Bentinckspark is the athletics stadium. This has a late 2014 finished Kampfbahn with eight tracks, which are made of a special plastic. This is referred to in the Dutch media as "the fastest arena in Europe" because, according to the manufacturer Beynon Sports Surfaces, this plastic springs and thus gives energy back to the athlete, which should enable faster times. The arena in Hoogeveen is the first arena in Europe made of this material.

Table of international matches

Some international matches were played in Bentinckspark. It can be assumed that all games were played on the part of VV Hoogeveen , as this was the place with the largest spectator capacity.
