During the reclamation of Eastern Flevoland, Zuigerplas was created by sand extraction for the benefit of the IJsselmeerdijk and Houtribsluizen locks. The first planting of the forest took place in 1964, after the reclamation of Eastern Flevoland in the late 1950s. Because the Zuigerplasbos is adjacent to the built-up area of Lelystad, plenty of room was made for recreation from the start. And with success. Thus, a park-like entity was created around the lake, surrounded by forest. A combination of green and water, enjoyed by many Lelystad residents.
