This park doesn't have the history of the Vondelpark but offers everything that Vondelpark doesn't have. It's only a 10 minutes walk (5 minutes bike ride!) and has a few nice venues where it's possible to enjoy some drinks in the sun. On the big main field it's also allowed to have a BBQ so that's also an option (It's possible to buy a disposable BBQ at Albert Heijn).
