Westerpark is a massive urban public park that offers a wide variety of things to see and do, including walking paths, water features and public art installations. This formerly small 19th-century park has merged with the now defunct municipal gas installations to create a massive public space for all to enjoy.
Anyone who loves visiting a park will find fun here, but that's just the beginning. Several attractions can be found in the Westergasfabriek area of the park, including cafes and a cinema. Most people spend about 2 or 3 hours here, but your visit could easily last all day.

Westerpark highlights
When you visit Westerpark, you'll find that it's split into 2 distinct sections. The old park section still feels like a small neighbourhood park, and it's useful for those looking for a pleasant stroll or bike ride.
When you visit the new park section, you'll find yourself in Westergasfabriek, the former municipal gas centre. Here, you'll see outdoor tables along with 2 coffee shops for refreshments. This area of the park boasts a long, rectangular pool that's open to the public. The pool is especially refreshing for a swim with the kids on a hot day.
