Oosterpark, Public park in Amsterdam-Oost, Netherlands.
Oosterpark is a large green space in Amsterdam-Oost featuring tree-lined pathways, ornamental gardens, and a lake designed in English landscape style. The grounds include areas for play and sports, along with quiet spots for sitting and watching the surroundings.
The park was designed in 1891 by landscape architect Leonard Antonij Springer as Amsterdam's first major public green space initiative. Its creation marked a shift in how the city approached urban planning and public access to nature.
The park holds a National Monument dedicated to slavery remembrance and sculptures honoring significant cultural figures. These works create spaces for visitors to encounter important historical perspectives while surrounded by nature.
Several park entrances connect directly to nearby tram and bus stops for easy access. The grounds offer plenty of space for picnicking, and on nice days you'll find visitors scattered along the paths and around the lake.
The western section of the park houses a population of grey herons and wild ducks, creating a natural refuge in the heart of the city. These birds can be spotted year-round and bring an unexpectedly wild quality to the urban setting.
