Eendrachtspark

Eendrachtspark is a public green space in Amsterdam Nieuw-West laid out between two streets with drainage ditches and pedestrian bridges crossing through. The grounds include a children's playground with a splash pool, barbecue areas for visitors, and a natural play zone with forest characteristics.

The park was designed in 1959 by architects Cor van Eesteren and Ko Mulder as part of Amsterdam's postwar expansion and named after a local peat yard. It represents an early example of planning that integrated recreational spaces into residential neighborhoods.

The park features two notable sculptures that give it an artistic character visitors encounter while walking through. These artworks add visual interest to the green space and reflect the neighborhood's cultural investment.

The park is easily accessible on foot with open pathways suitable for all ages. Warm months are best for barbecuing and water play, while the forest area welcomes exploration year-round.

The park contains a natural play area called Jungle Park where children build forest huts and explore through physical activity. This approach encourages unstructured play and risk-taking in ways that differ from typical playground design.
