Parks & Nature
Jeruzalem
Child friendly and not as busy as the Vondelpark...
If you like a refreshing morning run, you should head off in this direction. In the evening it's a lovely place for a barbecue. Hidden away at the east side of the park is a small distillery, very quaint! At the west entrance there is a playground between the trees. Nice for the children.

At the North side of the park there is an open air bathing spot especially created for toddlers and childeren. Great way to spend a hot day!

A great big playground for childeren with all the works. It is tended to by neighbourhood volunteers (all parents with children). On sunny days there is a chance you can buy coffee, tea and ice-cream. And the toilet is also accesible then. Make sure to take a spare set of clean, dry clothes as there is a water/sand element that is irresistible for children!
