Wander into Oosterpark, Amsterdam-Oost's lively local green space centred on a pond and its birdlife. Follow the loop path past sculptures and fountains, then settle on a bench or watch children splash in the wading pool.

📖

Full description

Oosterpark is a well-used neighbourhood park in Amsterdam-Oost, easy to reach from Central Station. Its pond draws water birds, and a kids' wading pool keeps families coming in warm weather, with reviewers noting very clean water and a relaxed atmosphere.

Runners favour the 1.7-kilometre loop, and benches, open lawns, fountains and sculptures give the park a lived-in feel that suits picnics and quiet sitting. The higher walking intensity reflects how much ground the circuits cover, and visitors mention that litter around some bins can detract on busy days.

Reviews

We have been in the splash area for kids. I found by Google. Easy access from Central Station. We only stayed in the splash area and loved it. Very clean water and a family-friendly atmosphere, without dirt or mess.
