Önder CeylanAugust 4, 2016A park with a culture. It has art galleries, event halls, jazz club, dance clubs in it. It's a regular host for a number of music and food festivals, especially in summertime.
Fantastic park for walking your dog! You can walk for an hour or more on the off-leash paths from end to end. Plenty of swimming areas for your dog to cool down in the summer. We love it here!
- Adrián MorenoMay 31, 2015Awesome park, even bigger than Vondelpark, in the former premises of a gas processing factory. They preserve some of the buildings for cafes and restaurants, and there's lot of natural to walk or bike
Jenia KunstApril 21, 2017You are lucky person if you live or stay close to the Westerpark. It is large park with channels, ponds, swamps and green gardens. Nice cafes are located closer to the city center.
Jan KostelijkJuly 17, 2015Great park to chill after work. It's never too crowded. There's two parts, one that's a real park with a lake and trees, and another part that is 'cultuurpark' without trees so with a lot of sun.
Benjamin HollwayJune 20, 2017I love this park as it's very local. Great to both cycle and walk through. Always packed on a sunny day. Some of the events held here are fanatic
The best park in Amsterdam, especially in the summertime. Lots of wide open space for a picnic, plenty of festivals, and cool bars.
Astrid JunghansApril 24, 2016A little bit of everything: playground, animals, bars and restaurants, movie theater and green areas close to the water to lie in the sun.
You can sit in a more open area or next to the trees. Great place to relax and unwind with friends.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsNovember 17, 2011Petting zoo and playgrounds for kids, and cafes and bars for all the adults. Not to mention the summer festivals! Read more
Gino BuragevicOctober 3, 2014No. 3 best park in Amsterdam. The venues located at the side of the park are divers, creative and delicious!
Lovely long park to cycle through, eat breakfast or lunch, have a drink or relax on the grass.
Thomas MeijerApril 24, 2015Lovely park where you can just chill and relax with friends. Or play some football. Less busy than Vondelpark- My favourite park in Amsterdam. For walking, running, eating (great choices!) and drinking..!
Good place for enjoy sunny afternoon or an evening bbq with friends !
SachaMay 30, 2014Sunday Market - first Sunday of the month - is awesome! Great food and artisan market by the old gas factory.
Anthea BairdOctober 17, 2016Always something happening here. Lots of great bars or grab an ice cream and wander through the park.
Mykolas PetrauskasDecember 6, 2015A very nice park, great barbecues! Nice to drop by one of many cool places in Westergasfabriek.- Amsterdam MagazineFebruary 3, 2011Picnics, bars, clubs, cinema, galleries, this park has it all! Try biking farther west of westergasfabriek for serene nature including tons of hopping bunnies.
A great place for....most things you would like to do in a park. Picnic, relaxing strolls, soak in some sun, go for a run, people watch etc. Also, it's not as busy as Vondelpark so that's a bonus
Great to run here. You can go all the way to Haarlem if you feel like.
Deniz D.November 27, 2014Great park. I would spend most of my time there if I was living in Amsterdam.
Great to sit on the grass near the water in the old part of the park ;-)
Great parc, really long strip to walk the dog without a leash.
Ilse van EckJune 6, 2013Use a free plastic plaid, which can be found near several entrances, under your own plaid as the ground is very moisty.
Mendel BoumanMarch 28, 2010On a sunny day, unexpectedly call a close friend or preferably a loved one. Go to Westerpark in Amsterdam with some food and drinks and enjoy each other's company in the sun :)
Bunnies bunnies bunnies! Lots of bunnies come out and play after dark 🐰- Come here on a sunny Sunday afternoon and hang out at the water like everyone else.
Gracia AltaMay 7, 2018Not enough trash bins so all the rubbish is next to it. takes away the feel of the park which is nice otherways
Use your mobile tag reader to find out more about the history of the buildings and the setup of the park. Mobile tags can be found all around the park. Scan and enjoy!
- Daniël van der WindenJuly 22, 2015Bring a barbecue and don't put it straight on the grass or a bored cop might fine ya.
