Prins Hendrikplantsoen, Public park in central Amsterdam, Netherlands

Prins Hendrikplantsoen stretches along Prins Hendrikkade street directly across from Amsterdam Central Station, near the Victoria Hotel and Open Havenfront.

Built in 1883 during Central Station construction, the park contained linden, maple, elm, and plane trees with a decorative fence surrounding the grounds.

The park featured a commemorative bust of Prince Hendrik van Oranje-Nassau until 1979, when it was moved to a location near the Scheepvaarthuis.

The space transformed into a major bus station in the 1960s, serving routes to Schiphol Airport and other destinations until its closure in 2018.

The former park area now houses an underground bicycle storage facility for 7,000 bicycles, constructed between 2018 and 2023 at a cost of 90 million euros.
