We saw an extensive wooden play structure with rope bridges, ladders, high and low structures, at least 200 feet long! Our daughters would've loved playing on it! Walking paths everywhere, lots of bodies of water with ducks, grassy areas for picnicking and playing frisbee and flying kites!

Sarphatipark is a medium-size park in De Pijp. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this park, but…read moreit might be a nice place to stop and rest. A few ponds and some benches. A thick wall of trees shuts out the rest of the world.

Great outdoor park to walk with hour dogs, see cows and see the nature!…read moreIt's always a silence place good for a "rest giving" walk, to enjoy, the dogs are kind and don't bark at you so you can pass by without interruptions. It's a nice park in Haarlem-Noord (Haarlem-North), enjoy!

This felt like the peak of the Hague's reputation as a city of lush green spaces. Including the…read moreJapanese garden (which is only groomed and opened for four weeks, twice a year), three hours is an adequate amount of time to wander the grounds, and there's a smattering of benches around if sitting back in open grass doesn't appeal to you. It's a beautiful place to relax and decompress (and add to your daily step count). We didn't stop in at the cafe since its menu seemed limited, but plenty of regulars seemed happy to give them business. There were fewer water fountains than another park we visited, and no bathrooms.

As a dog owner, I am only partially happy with the Theo van Gogh park on IJburg (named after the…read moreDutch film maker). There are no dog parks on IJburg, so a bit jealous of this one, as I can only circle around it. No dogs allowed! (This is probably a good thing). This park is really a large playground, where kids can play football, basketball and other sports. There are several play areas, with different activities, suitable for kids of different ages. When the weather allows it, the many schools around the park use it as playground too. It's nice to have this available in this neighborhood, with so many children.

If you want to see windmills in Amsterdam, this is the place to go…read more Beautiful scenery in the surrounding area around the windmills. Kind of a small village town. Some of the buildings are living quarters and some are shops such as cheese, clogs, and chocolate. We were able to go inside one of the working windmills and see how it all worked. There are small steep set of stairs, so be prepared. They're not high, but space it tight. Nice experience and worth taking a trip out to see the windmill

I would give this experience 6 stars if I could! It was only a few metro stops away from Amsterdam…read moreCentraal with a 10-minute walk. The whole day there could actually have been free, but I paid in advance online for extra experience, like going up to the balcony of the windmills! I was so amazed by how close I was with the blade! The clog "museum" was so cool with alternating English and Dutch demo every 10 minutes. The cheese zone was fascinating. The hot cocoa hut was a fun experience. Honestly, I felt like I was in a dream just by walking along the curvy paths. Can't say I'll be back soon, and the photos I took simply don't do justice to how beautiful this place is. Oh, I miss this place already!

Our go to spot for walking the dog as it's right across the street from my parents' house and how…read morelucky we are to have it! The forest is perfect for walking your dog and just magical when it's snowy. About eight hundred metres in from the entrance near my parents' house there's a nice little play ground and seating area with a few benches and picnic tables. If you go about two hundred metres deeper into the forest there's even a decent chance of spotting some deer and rabbits. Basically the forest is great for anyone who's looking to relax or have a fun afternoon with the kids. The only thing that's really missing is a natural water element to swim in, but that's mother nature for you, she just does what she wants. Doesn't mean that the county couldn't help her a bit though... *hint, hint *
