Today was a beautiful blue sky day. It was the perfect day for a walk in a park. There are many parks in the city but I chose to visit Beatrixpark which is named after the previous queen of the Netherlands.
The park was originally created in the 1930's and renamed after the war. Despite its wartime origins, it has a romantic feel to it.
There is a small lake with a fountain,
and nearby are colorful rhododendroms.
This open landscape area is perfect for picnics
or these areas under the trees.
My favourite spots are any grassy areas under the numerous weeping willows.
The park is always clean and quiet except on days like this when families take their children to the small swimming pool by the pavilion. Photos are not allow unless you are with your children. Here is a glimpse of the pavilion by the "ice-cream and snack place."
Look at these majestic trees - they have claimed there spots and do not go unnoticed.
I also love this area which is left a bit more wild. It looks like the grass is dusted with something yellow - yes - they are creeping buttercups.
It is a great place to visit by foot or bicycle on these well defined cycling paths
or by boat on the bordering canal.
If you would like to truly have peace and quiet - walk through these arches-
there is also a spot for you - in the medicinal herbal garden.
I hope you enjoyed my walk to one of my favorite places !!
what a delightful park, the greens so fresh and lush
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
I am happy you dropped by and that you enjoyed the visit. Thanks for your comment.
You just journeyed to Amsterdam. I know exactly how you feel with foreign blogs - that is the beauty of our global reach.
one thing I love about hosting the Wednesday Walk is seeing walks from all around the globe, sometimes places I havent been, and sometimes places I have
I visited Amsterdam a few times, but dont think I ever made it tot hat park
This park like many others are not as popular as the park near the center called Vondelpark - Beatrixpark in the south of the city.
I know I visited one park there but honestly dont know which one
Aww that is ok. I will certainly visit more parks and share them with Wednesday walk.
I will look forward to seeing them :)

Oh my, that's a beautiful place to be! I love that it is mostly green! The lake is so serene too.
Hello @ifarmgirl - it is a beautiful green space and there is always a quiet spot.
Hello too :) Yes, It seems mostly quiet there. It's nice to spend more time in places like that.
Nice park to escape from the crowded city!
Indeed - it is an escape and there is always a quiet spot if needed.
Thanks for the wonderful photos. Momo.

What beautiful pictures. Reminds me of how much I love Spring. We don't get much Springtime where I live. So thanks for sharing these. That park looks so peaceful.

Many thanks. It is very peaceful - seems like the trees buffer it from any city noise. Yes spring is lovely- everything burst into being. Love it too.
You're very welcome, @momogrow! That is a good thing. Enjoy your weekend. 😀

Even as a compatriot I never heard of this park before. But it looks very nice!
Those rhododendrons are huge. Very beautiful.
