Frederik Hendrikplantsoen

Frederik Hendrikplantsoen spans 450 square meters and contains numerous old trees, modern play structures, and artistic installations throughout the green space.

The area transformed from a 17th-century sawmill district called Molenbuurt into a public park in 1886 as part of Amsterdam's urban expansion plan.

The park features the sculpture group De Stam and the 1965 artwork Pipe Dream by Cephas Stauthamer, representing Dutch contemporary art in public spaces.

Three distinct play towers cater to different age groups, offering activities like climbing, hammock lounging, trampolining, and exploring elevated nets.

Metal poles supporting the play structures incorporate animal icons, referencing the historical sawmill activities that once characterized this neighborhood.
