Oosterpark, Public park in Amsterdam-Oost, Netherlands.

The park extends over several hectares with tree-lined paths, ornamental gardens, and a large lake reflecting the English landscape style.

Created in 1891 by landscape architect Leonard Antonij Springer, Oosterpark became the first major public park established by the Amsterdam municipality.

The National Monument of Slavery and the sculpture dedicated to filmmaker Theo van Gogh stand among numerous art pieces throughout the grounds.

Multiple entrances connect to tram and bus stops, while the park offers designated areas for picnics, sports activities, and children's playgrounds.

Grey herons and wild ducks inhabit the park's western section, creating a natural bird sanctuary within the urban environment.
