Weteringplantsoen, Public square and park in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The Weteringplantsoen features a central grass area surrounded by trees, benches, and pedestrian paths near the Singelgracht canal.

The square emerged around 1845 on the former De Wetering bulwark, where a windmill stood until 1873 before the area's transformation.

A memorial at the square commemorates 30 resistance fighters who lost their lives during the German occupation on March 12, 1945.

The location connects to public transportation through multiple tram lines, including lines 1, 7, and 19, which cross the underground metro line 52.

The square contains a statue of Dutch writer Simon Carmiggelt, created by sculptor Kees Verkade, positioned along one of its paths.
