Additionally, the park's design encourages imaginative play, with various climbing structures and sand pits that stimulate creativity and physical activity.

It is known for its expansive play areas, including climbing frames, sand pits, and a vibrant mural by Keith Haring.

Such a great place for kids to play and sport  in the natural environment , with a bit industrial tone of "the stomach of Amsterdam" and a great mural of Keith Haring on the "background".

Awesome park. Really big, something for all ages. Lots of sand.
One little problem is the big hill in the middle means you don't have overview of the whole park. If your kids are on the other side of the hill, you have to get off your butt to keep an eye on them. 😉
Also there is a lot of brand nettle.

Great local park! We often cycle over from Noord to take our 2 year old here. It has great play areas, swings, a big slide and loads of sand. There's also a huge variety of climbing frames that can keep even a toddler engaged (with help), but definitely older kids and adults! 😊

A great little garden in middle of city.  Right now the view is of boats and old warehouse. But hope things change post construction
