Probably the best park in Amsterdam! Vondelpark is huge, but hey, no BBQ, and always full of…read moretourists smoking weed. Westerpark is a bit further from the city center which means only the very health-conscious and serious parkies come here. The park has a ton of dining options, my favorite being the ice cream shop. There are a few amazing coffee spots, and let's not forget -- Tony's headquarters are here! You could walk in and sample all the flavors for free! There is an amazing jogging trail around the park, and the 'garden center' to the west is a hidden gem. It's private property, though, and only open for limited hours during the summer. Other than that, the famous Rollende Keukens is organized at this park, as is the milkshake festival. Countless conferences. There's even a tv studio. Oh, and Ketelhuis is an amazing spot for some Dutch or European movies. So much to say about this amazing spot.

Also a large area for Gay cruising called Nieuwe Meer. It is identified on the signs when you enter the park.

There's a nice bike highway here that is pleasant to bike through to avoid the main roads, and really, when you can bike through a park instead of a road, what wouldn't you? There are some water features to sit next to and enjoy. Not sure about you, but I love being next to the water (good thing I live in Amsterdam, right?). It's quieter in this park, so you can easily find some nice picnic spots. Free outdoor exercise equipment are location throughout the park as well, if that's your scene. Personally, I just love being around all the green. There is easy access from the north, south, east, and west, so it's always easy to get in.

I generally only cycle through this park onto another location, but each time I seem to get misdirected, so be alert. It's more of a long, thin park than a big square or rectangular design.
