Broersepark, Municipal park and protected monument in Amstelveen, Netherlands.
Broersepark is a municipal park and protected monument in Amstelveen featuring winding paths, ponds, and bridges designed in the style of a traditional English garden. The grounds display landscaping elements that create varied walking routes throughout the space.
The park was founded in 1926 as the first public green space in Amstelveen, establishing a new pattern of organized recreation for the growing municipality. This creation reflected broader changes in Dutch urban planning during the early 20th century.
The park holds memorials dedicated to significant historical events, with sculptures and monuments scattered throughout that reflect the community's connection to past struggles and liberation.
The park sits between the Amsterdam-Bovenkerk museum railway line and Amsterdamseweg, accessible through the main entrance at Amsterdamseweg 44. Well-maintained paths guide visitors comfortably through the grounds in any season.
The park sits on peat soil that experiences ongoing subsidence, requiring substantial renovation work to maintain healthy growing conditions. This geological challenge makes upkeep of the gardens particularly demanding.
