Westerpark, Public park in Amsterdam West, Netherlands
The 5.6-hectare green space features walking paths, ponds, and recreational areas alongside industrial heritage buildings from the former Westergasfabriek gas plant.
In 1845, Amsterdam created its first municipal park, the Westerplantsoen, which landscape architect Leonard Springer redesigned in 1890 as the current Westerpark.
The renovated industrial buildings now function as a cultural center, housing a cinema, theater spaces, markets, exhibitions, restaurants, and regular community events.
Located near central Amsterdam, visitors can reach the park within 5 minutes by tram, 10 minutes by bicycle, or 20 minutes on foot.
Each year from April to October, a floating sculpture named Bruidsjurk appears in the park pond, representing a wedding dress made by a collective of artists.
