Loved coming here as a child for Birthday parties and as an adult I still love coming here. Pools…read moreinside and outside, a slide and two bubbly hot tubs. It's quite simple, but beyond your basic square pool so it stays interesting even after all these years. The snack bar is trying to be "healthier" by baking instead of frying but then one of their recent additions to the menu is slush puppies.. seems like a disconnect to me but whatever, snacks aren't the reason I come to a pool. And now an added bonus is that some of the children that I've worked with the past year have their swimming classes here which gives me a good opportunity to

Sloterpark is situated New West of Amsterdam, it's a pocket of greenery with a wonderful view of…read morebig great lakes along the city. Sloterpark is a great place to go if your looking for a mental break or more of an intimate atmosphere to revive. You can unwind here and connect back to nature, by taking a stroll through the shaded footpaths or relax on the bench and enjoy the cool breeze of Amsterdam. We cycle through here sometimes when we are visiting friends on the west side. This park is ideal for the people who live in the community or for those who happen to be in the neck of the woods. Make sure to walk around the neighborhood and you will discover some lovely residential neighborhood streets, just tucked away in this quiet community. You can also sail, canoe, and fish in Sloter Lake. If you have a hobby for catching fish, then this area is popular to go fishing.

Sometimes you just have the need to get out of the city...without getting out of the city. You know…read morewhat I mean? It was a beautiful summer day and I wanted to go to the beach without paying for the train. So we ended up in Sloterpark and its mini-beach. I really liked the park atmosphere with the grass and trees (for needed shade) but with an area with the sand and water. Everyone was enjoying the sunshine on this day. Some were laying out and getting tan, some kids were running from the sand to the water squealing because the water was so cool, then laughing and running back. Some people put up mini tents to help with the shade (especially for the little ones). Others were kicking a soccer ball around with their parents. It is the perfect setting for simply enjoying life. There are canoe and stuff like that to rent, but I didn't go there to check it out. Whether you are allowed to or not (I know there's a city website for that information), people were using mini BBQ grills that made the whole area smell amazing. There was even an ice cream truck that made the rounds. If you walk past the whole beach area, there's a quiet spot that's quite a good size overlooking the lake. I think it would be the perfect spot for a group of friends or a romantic picnic.

Nice municipal pool. Safe and secure. Lane swimming, but sometimes crowded. When we went, there…read morewere two sections, one roped for 25m swim lanes, and these were crowded, and another more shallow area. There's also jacuzzi-like tubs, and steam rooms, both coin-operated and inexpensive. Has showers. Reasonably warm water. Changing stalls available.

From the owner: Net ten oosten van het centrum van Rotterdam ligt het Oostelijk Zwembad. Het zwembad is gesticht in…read more1932 en is het oudste zwembad van de stad. Het heeft een authentieke en monumentale sfeer, maar wel met de luxe en technieken van een modern zwembad. Zwemmen in het Oostelijk Zwembad is, door haar monumentale karakter, een echte belevenis.
