Great outdoor park to walk with hour dogs, see cows and see the nature!…read moreIt's always a silence place good for a "rest giving" walk, to enjoy, the dogs are kind and don't bark at you so you can pass by without interruptions. It's a nice park in Haarlem-Noord (Haarlem-North), enjoy!

The forest is perfect for walking your dog and just magical when it's snowy. About eight hundred metres in from the entrance near my parents' house there's a nice little play ground and seating area with a few benches and picnic tables. If you go about two hundred metres deeper into the forest there's even a decent chance of spotting some deer and rabbits. Basically the forest is great for anyone who's looking to relax or have a fun afternoon with the kids.

The semi-open pavilion near the two small bridges near offered a popular spot to relax. The bonsai were a little worse for the wear, and someone appeared to be working on a fence repair, but the foliage was otherwise nicely groomed.

Also nice spot for wedding pictures. Brough my GF here and she loved it, flowers are beautiful and its a different garden from the most in Netherlands.
