Westpark Amsterdam Weekend Walk |Sunday Fun at Westpark

The Westerpark (English: Western Park) is a public urban park in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The former borough (stadsdeel) of Westerpark is named after the park, as is the current neighborhood. The verdant space of the former Westergasfabriek gasworks along Haarlemmerweg has become a place for cultural avant-garde businesses and events. From Westerplantsoen to Westerpark edit Up until the early seventeenth century, the Haarlemmerdijk (also called Spaarndammerdijk) constitutes the only connection between Haarlem and Amsterdam. The dike serves as protection against the IJ[clarification needed], but is subject to breakthroughs and floods. At the north of the dike lies a polder, which is the location of today's Westerpark. Its name, Overbraker Binnenpolder, probably refers to its frequent floods. A few farms are built along this dike between Amsterdam and Sloterdijk, then the first village on the road to Haarlem.[1] In the mid-19th century, Amsterdam struggles with the consequences of the Industrial revolution and the growth of its population.[2] The increasing pollution and deteriorating hygiene conditions lead the city to consider the creation of parks and gardens around the city center. In 1845, Amsterdam's first municipal park, the Westerplantsoen (Western Garden),[3] is created on the Overbraker Binnenpolder. The park in 2018 This first park is appreciated by the local population. Ton Heijdra notes: There is enthusiasm for this new park, especially in the summer when it hosts theater performances. When they are thirsty, people can enjoy the Welgelegen tavern, on the Bogt stronghold, in the middle of the park. Welgelegen has a leafy garden and a music temple where performances are often held.[4] The experience, however, is short-lived: in 1869, the park is eliminated to make way for the railroads and canals,[5] most notably the Westerkanaal that connects the Singelgracht and the Haarlemmertrekvaart to the IJ. #amsterdam #netherlands #holland #nederland #rotterdam #amsterdamcity #travel #photography #london #art #love #utrecht #paris #europe #iamsterdam #denhaag #dutch #berlin #instagood #ajax #thenetherlands #fashion #amsterdamlife #haarlem #newyork #music #travelphotography #visitamsterdam #amsterdamworld #photooftheday
