Beatrixpark

Beatrixpark is a landscaped public park in Amsterdam-Zuid featuring open lawns, planted beds, and water elements connected by winding paths. Wooded sections provide shade and shelter throughout the grounds.

Landscape architect Ko Mulder designed the park between 1936 and 1938, blending romantic and modern design principles in its layout. The northern section gained protected status in 2005 to preserve its original features.

The park serves the surrounding neighborhood as a shared green space where locals stroll, sit by the water, and take time away from the busy city. Daily use shapes how the paths and seating areas feel lived-in and welcoming.

Tram line 5 stops near Stadionweg station, providing easy access to the park. Street parking is available on the surrounding roads for those arriving by car.

The Artsenijhof herb garden was created during the 1972 Floriade exhibition and still stands today as part of the park's plant collection. Visitors often overlook this specialized section dedicated to medicinal and culinary herbs.
