Rembrandtpark

About

Stretching across 45 hectares in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, Rembrandtpark is a spacious urban retreat named after the iconic Dutch painter. Completed in 1973, the park blends natural beauty with community spirit, offering serene ponds, wooded paths, and open lawns ideal for relaxation or recreation. It’s home to De Uylenburg, the city’s oldest petting zoo, as well as playgrounds and school gardens that make it a favourite among families. Divided into four sections by major streets, the park remains easily navigable and well-connected to public transport. Seasonal festivals and art installations add cultural flair, while its biodiversity—including birds, bees, and bats—makes it a haven for nature lovers. Whether you're cycling through its leafy trails or enjoying a quiet picnic, Rembrandtpark offers a refreshing escape from the city’s bustle while staying rooted in Amsterdam’s artistic and ecological heritage.
