Wachterliedplantsoen

Wachterliedplantsoen extends between Egidiusstraat, Reinaert de Vosstraat, Heer Halewijnstraat, and Erasmusgracht, featuring hills and multiple recreational facilities throughout the grounds.

The municipal council designated this green space in July 1939, marking the beginning of a significant recreational area in the western part of Amsterdam.

The park bears its name from medieval minnesongs where watchmen bid farewell to couples in love, connecting the space to Dutch literary traditions.

Visitors can access multiple facilities including a playground, petting zoo, sports fields, and the Wachterliedpaviljoen community center for various activities.

The 2010 renovation transformed the landscape into a distinctive volcanic terrain design with strategically placed seating for parental supervision of children.
