Arda
★★★★★6 months agoBeautiful little park in the heart of De Pijp, perfect for a calm walk or picnic. The ponds, bridges and willow trees are stunning. I visited on an unusually snowy day with frozen ponds (something that doesn’t happen often I guess!), and it was pure magic. Locals sliding on the ice made it extra fun⛸️ . Felt really fortunate! Highly recommend this cozy oasis any season. ❄️🌿

★★★★★10 months agoThis lovely little park was recommended to me as a spot to see some birds and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The fountains were very relaxing and there are some beautifully sculpted structures. It doesn’t take too long to walk around the entire park and the ground is fairly even. If you are in the area, there’s nothing nicer than a walk here on a nice day.
