Traveler reviews
Tomer Lapid
★★★★★2 months agoMy favourite park in Amsterdam! It’s gorgeous and spacious. Many quiet patches for a picnic with kids. The coffee cart is great and we’re waiting for the children’s pond to reopen as the recreational bit of the park is under renovation.
Ankita Mohapatra
★★★★★10 months agoIt's a beautiful park, great for walking, biking, sitting, dog walking, picnic. There are multiple entrances. Strand zuid restaurant on the Rai side is quite nice. There are some picnic benches in the dog park. There is a large play area for kids.
