Erasmuspark, Public park in Amsterdam-West, Netherlands.

The Erasmuspark spans 6 hectares, featuring long walking paths, rectangular lawns, and a central pond surrounded by diverse tree species.

The land transformed from agricultural fields to a public park in 1939, after Amsterdam annexed the municipality of Sloten in 1921.

The park bears the name of Dutch humanist writer Desiderius Erasmus and contains paths designed according to Piet Mondrian painting patterns.

Visitors access the park through several bridges, including the Desiderius Bridge, and can use barbecue areas from April to October.

The park houses 'The Miracle Garden', an evolving natural art installation that changes with seasonal transitions throughout the year.
