Siegerpark, Urban park in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, Netherlands.
Siegerpark is an urban green space in Amsterdam Nieuw-West with grassy paths winding through varied plant species and water bodies. The area spans approximately 3.5 hectares and three bridges connect its different sections.
Wilhelm Sieger, director of Amsterdam Chinine Fabriek, funded the land purchase and development of the park, which opened in 1937. This private initiative for creating public green space was notable during that period of Amsterdam's growth.
The park displays six sculptures from the Stedelijk Museum collection positioned along its paths since 1998. These artworks sit within the green surroundings and invite visitors to experience both nature and art in one walk.
The park is accessible through multiple entrances and provides bicycle parking for visitors. The bridges allow you to reach all areas while staying dry, even in wet conditions.
The site began as a bee sanctuary with dedicated beekeeping spaces and once housed a beekeeping museum. This surprising background connects the location to local pollination practices and shows how green areas can serve multiple purposes.
