Groot Landschap Sloterpark artwork

Highlight • Monument

"Some think it looks like a plane crash, I see more of a big turd in it." However you look at it; you cannot miss this work of art on a hill in the Sloterpark. When the weather is nice, people sit around it to barbecue or relax, they walk over the artwork or sit on it. For example, the work from 1974, by artist Wessel Couzijn and bronze founder Mart Joosten, after years of neglect and imminent demolition, turns out to be very valuable for the park.

Hotel Buiten

Highlight • Cafe

Just behind the city beach on the northwest side of the Sloterplas is Hotel Buiten. Contrary to what you might think, this is not a hotel, but a cafe/restaurant. It was set up in 2012 by local residents and entrepreneurs because at that time there was nowhere to drink a cup of coffee around the lake. "It's a very nice place to drink a beer or eat something delicious after work. They also have excellent options for vegans and vegetarians.”

Sloterplas Beach

Highlight • Beach

'A beach in the middle of the neighborhood: that's luxury! In the summer it is completely full and there is also volleyball. We don't have to go to Zandvoort anymore, we have our own place.' In the summer the West Beach Film Festival is also held here: watching films outdoors with a view of the Sloterplas.

Watersports Center De Duikelaar

Highlight • Rest Area

The General Expansion Plan of 1934 already stated that there had to be enough space for recreation. This is the water sports center De Duikelaar, where you can practice all kinds of water sports. "You can rent a canoe, supboard or windsurf board here and discover the Sloterplas from the water."

Van Eesteren Museum

Highlight • Monument

At the beginning of this century, attention and appreciation for the post-war heritage in the Western Garden Cities grew. In 2007, the municipally protected cityscape was created, a piece of Slotermeer that had to be preserved as heritage. This area now forms the Van Eesteren Outdoor Museum. There is also the indoor museum on Sloterplas and a museum house that is completely furnished in the style of the 1950s. 'Van Eesteren was a visionary. His plan for the garden cities breathes light air and space and it is very green, with many parks and trees. Even though many more homes will be added, the new construction must not be at the expense of greenery and water. Van Eesteren's plan is still very topical.”

Sloterplas

Highlight • Lake

The pond was dug to raise the surrounding neighborhoods with sand. Because more and more sand was needed, the puddle became deeper and deeper. Ultimately, the Sloterplas became more than 30 meters deep. ‘From the dotted terrace at Restaurant Oostoever on the northeast side you have a magnificent view over the Sloterplas. On the left you see trees and on the right green and the marina. It feels un-Amsterdam.'

Paddling Pool Piet Wiedijkpark

Highlight • Rest Area

"Ideal for anyone with small children: in any case, my daughter was always very happy when we went here." The wading pool is an iconic design by architect Aldo van Eyck, who was responsible for many playgrounds in Amsterdam. This is the ideal place to cool off.
