A park with a culture. It has art galleries , event halls, jazz club , dance clubs in it. It's a regular host for a number of music and food festivals , especially in summertime.

Erin Weigel

Fantastic park for walking your dog! You can walk for an hour or more on the off-leash paths from end to end. Plenty of swimming areas for your dog to cool down in the summer. We love it here!

Adrián Moreno

Awesome park , even bigger than Vondelpark , in the former premises of a gas processing factory . They preserve some of the buildings for cafes and restaurants , and there's lot of natural to walk or bike

Jenia Kunst

You are lucky person if you live or stay close to the Westerpark. It is large park with channels, ponds , swamps and green gardens . Nice cafes are located closer to the city center.

Jan Kostelijk

Great park to chill after work. It's never too crowded . There's two parts, one that's a real park with a lake and trees , and another part that is 'cultuurpark' without trees so with a lot of sun.

A little bit of everything: playground , animals, bars and restaurants , movie theater and green areas close to the water to lie in the sun.

A great place for....most things you would like to do in a park . Picnic , relaxing strolls, soak in some sun, go for a run, people watch etc. Also, it's not as busy as Vondelpark so that's a bonus
