Bilderdijkpark, Public park in Amsterdam Oud-West, Netherlands

Bilderdijkpark spans 0.5 hectares between Bilderdijkstraat, Hugo de Grootgracht, Bilderdijkkade, featuring green spaces and community facilities for local residents.

The park opened in 1926 on the grounds of the former Catholic cemetery De Liefde, which operated from 1845 until its closure in 1912.

The park bears the name of Willem Bilderdijk, a notable Dutch author, poet, historian, linguist, and lawyer who lived from 1756 to 1831.

The park contains a primary school, playground association, and restaurant De Liefde, housed in the converted 1845 neo-Gothic morgue building.

The former cemetery morgue, designed by architect J.D. Zocher Jr, remains the sole surviving structure from the original burial ground.
