Free Sun Protection Right in the Heart of the City

In the summer of 2026, Sunny Paul’s sunscreen stations will once again be set up at popular locations throughout Utrecht: at the Haarrijnseplas swimming lake, where many Utrecht residents go swimming and sunbathing; at the Soia city beach; in parks such as Griftpark and Wilhelminapark; and on the steps next to the TivoliVredenburg concert hall. There, anyone can apply sunscreen for free.

This initiative is part of Utrecht’s commitment to skin cancer prevention. It makes sunscreen available right where people are enjoying their summer.
