Sloterplas

Sloterplas is a large urban park located in the Amsterdam district of Amsterdam-Oost, Netherlands. It is one of the largest parks in the city, covering an area of approximately 100 hectares. The park was created in the 1920s as part of the urban renewal project to provide green spaces in the rapidly growing eastern part of Amsterdam. It is named after the Sloterplas lake, which was drained in the 1920s to make way for the park.

It also features several recreational facilities, such as sports fields, a playground, and a boathouse. The park is popular among locals and visitors alike for its peaceful atmosphere and scenic beauty.

The park is also an important cultural and historical site. It hosts various events throughout the year, including concerts, festivals, and sports competitions. The park's design, which combines natural elements with urban infrastructure, has made it a model for urban parks in other cities. Sloterplas is managed by the municipality of Amsterdam and is open to the public year-round.
