Located in Amsterdam Oost, Oosterpark is the city’s first large public park, designed in 1891 by landscape architect Leonard Springer. Its English-style layout features winding paths, serene ponds, and lush greenery that offer a peaceful escape from urban life. The park is known for its multicultural atmosphere and hosts a variety of festivals and community events throughout the year. Among its notable landmarks is the National Slavery Monument, a powerful tribute to the victims of Dutch colonial slavery. Other sculptures, including “The Scream” memorial to filmmaker Theo van Gogh, add depth to its cultural landscape. Oosterpark also supports rich biodiversity, with herons, ducks, and even parrots inhabiting its grounds. Families enjoy the well-equipped playgrounds, while joggers and cyclists make use of its open paths. Easily accessible by public transport and located near the Tropenmuseum, Oosterpark blends history, nature, and social reflection in one vibrant green space.
