Velopark - all bicycle parkings in Belgium

Velopark.be is a digital platform that makes all information about bicycle parking facilities in the whole of Belgium available to everyone. All useful user information is centrally located in one place: www.velopark.be.

The platform is built on the principle of Linked Open Data, and all data is publicly available, both the fixed data about bicycle parking and the dynamic data (the occupancy, where available). The data can be requested by consulting the linked open data catalog or via a user-friendly API.

The dataset mentioned is a link to the JSON-LD (Linked Data) catalog. However, if you are not familiar working with this format, a 'basic' API has been created: All information on the vocabulary, API, data sources and reuse .. can be found here: https://www.velopark.be/en/pro/reuse-data

Quality assessment

Velopark is structured in such a way that every municipality monitors the parking facilities on its territory and monitors the quality. Each municipality can add parking facilities itself, validate and publish parking facilities added by third parties, and modify or delete information. This means that the information depends on the municipality, but is generally of very high quality.

Since 2025, a sync has been setup with OSM, including a quality check, which means that all Velopark bike parkings have been linked to OSM parkings. Municipalities now also can import information based on OSM parkings. A yearly reminder is sent to data owners to update if needed.
