Sloterpark

Sloterpark is a large urban park located in the Nieuw-West district of Amsterdam, Netherlands. It was created in the 1960s and is one of the city's largest green spaces. The park's central feature is the Sloterplas, a sizable artificial lake that is popular for recreational activities.

The park offers a variety of amenities for visitors. There are extensive walking and cycling paths that wind through the green areas and around the lake. The Sloterplas itself is used for swimming in designated areas during warmer months, as well as for boating, sailing, and fishing. Several sports clubs and facilities are located within or adjacent to the park, including a football club and a tennis center.

Sloterpark also includes playgrounds, open fields for picnics and informal sports, and a beach area. A notable landmark within the park is the modernist building that houses the Sloterplas Information Centre, which also serves as a cafe and event space. The park is easily accessible by public transport, making it a popular destination for both local residents and tourists seeking outdoor recreation and a respite from the urban environment. Its design emphasizes open space and the integration of water features, contributing to its appeal as a multifunctional recreational area.
