It was a gorgeous sight to start our day with each morning. My husband jogged around early in the day and enjoyed the peace. The kids loved the large grassy areas to frolick in, the ponds to bird watch, the playground by the hotel, the splashpad, skatepark, and especially the turfed soccer arena. It was also nice to do at multiple cafes to sit for a drink or app.

It's pretty difficult not to fall in love with this beautiful and diverse park. The park houses…read morething that you'll expect from a park, like both open areas, more secluded areas, as well as a playground for children. That's all very well, but it's not what makes this place really interesting. In one end of the park you'll find the restaurant De Kas in their grand greenhouse and ordered kitchen garden. In the other end you'll find a long range of very different small private gardens and plots seperated by small gravel paths and canals. In this area there's also a larger area reserved for school gardens. The childrens very small plots all look more or less the same, except for the very creative name signs that they have created for their small kitchen gardens.

Westerpark is a bit further from the city center which means only the very health-conscious and serious parkies come here. The park has a ton of dining options, my favorite being the ice cream shop. There are a few amazing coffee spots, and let's not forget -- Tony's headquarters are here! You could walk in and sample all the flavors for free! There is an amazing jogging trail around the park, and the 'garden center' to the west is a hidden gem. It's private property, though, and only open for limited hours during the summer. Other than that, the famous Rollende Keukens is organized at this park, as is the milkshake festival. Countless conferences. There's even a tv studio. Oh, and Ketelhuis is an amazing spot for some Dutch or European movies. So much to say about this amazing spot.

Fantastic Park for little kids!…read more This park is great! We visited Amsterdam with our 7 year old son, and we saw a lot of history and culture. It was good to go to Amstelpark on a warm day and do all the little kid things. We biked to and through the park. We splashed in the big wadding pool, rode the small train through the park, tried to go to the petting zoo but it closes at 3pm (but we still saw some animals), my son played in the playgrounds, and rode on the little rides. He was so happy. (I would say 7 or 8 years old would be the oldest ages that would really enjoy this. Ideal for 3-6 year olds).
