Florapark, Public park in Noord district, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Florapark is a green space in Amsterdam-Noord that stretches along the Noordhollandsch Canal with walking paths, open lawns, and planted areas. The grounds include a renovated swimming facility and border a historic childcare building from the 1930s in Amsterdam School architecture.
The park was established in 1921 based on a design from 1914 that brought English landscape principles to Amsterdam-Noord's development. It later merged with the neighboring Volewijkspark across the canal.
The park takes its name from its origins as flower gardens for the local community. Today you can see how families use the lawns and paths, and how it functions as a living part of daily life in Amsterdam-Noord.
The area is easy to reach on foot and has well-marked paths for all fitness levels. You can visit throughout the year, with seasonal changes in plant life and activity.
The park was originally designed purely as flower gardens but later gained a swimming facility, becoming a multi-purpose recreation area. This evolution shows how it adapted to the growing needs of the community.
