Amstelpark

Looking for a park in Amsterdam? A place to run? Play minigolf? Have a bite? See some art? This place has it all. Come and ride a train, check out the flowers and see a Japanese Garden (as if The Netherlands did not have enough gardens of their own).
You will see other people there, and if you are lucky you may see a bride and groom having their wedding pictures taken here.

I have been to Amstelpark several times. When I go I am usually running or eating.
Plenty of beauty and open space to make for a relaxing day at the park or if you need somewhere to run a few kilometers.
Other adventures include «midget golf», a train, gardens, art and a place to grab a bite to eat!
Taste of Amsterdam was here the last two years that I have been in Amsterdam and it is the perfect place to have this event.
If you need to get away from the center for a bit, this is a great place to escape!

This place is reallly cool. I was very suprised that it was so empty. It’s a huge park with various different sections with all sorts of artistic and botanical displays. The park also includes a mini golf course, a train, lakes, restuaurant and all sorts of other things that would be great for a family to spend the day enjoying. Also a great place to go if you like to run… which is what I was doing there.

Cómo me gusta a mí un buen parque, maldita sea; es en esos momentos en los que caminas por sus veredas pensando en tus cosas en los que mejor me encuentro sin interferencia ajena. Es que yo pienso demasiado.
Al principio tenía miedo de que el viaje hasta allí, de más de 1 hora andando desde donde duermo, no fuese a merecer la pena, pero sólo por el jardín japonés a la orilla del lago y los animales medio exóticos repartidos por varios lugares de su extensión ha merecido la pena. Mi preferido ha sido el canguro blanco, aunque he de decir que los caballos para hobbits también eran guays.
De lo que me he quedado con ganas ha sido de coger el tren que te da una vuelta por el interior, pero acababa de marcharse cuando llegamos y ya era tarde como para andar esperando y que se nos fuera el día entre los dedos. Pero no pasa nada, porque si vuelvo a esta ciudad, pienso venir aquí a echar la mañana en un césped o un banco cerca del lago con un buen libro, tal y como hacían casi todas las personas con las que nos hemos encontrado.

This is one of my favorite parks to stroll through with my Dutchman in the summer when there is plenty of sunshine. What makes AmstelPark a great place? Amstel is a great way to enjoy nature at its best! AmstelPark is located South of Amsterdam near the Amstel River, Riekermolen windmill and Rembrant Van Rijn. So you have the pleasure of both Worlds when venturing through this neighborhood. You can enter the park through North Art entrance of the Amstel. In this special park you will find a surprising amount of flowers, trees, plants and spot a lovely Japanese garden. The Amstelpark is a wonderful combination of nature, art and recreation. You get the chance to ride a train, which travels through different segments of the park. In this lovely park nature takes it’s course, which means you will find a few exotic plants in the garden. Among the acres of greenery, couples come here to tie the knot. So, if your lucky, then you may spot a bride and groom walking through the park. Amstelpark is a popular location for weddings and photography. Tying the knot in the Amstelpark is also an ideal location for newlyweds.
