Singelpark

Sad development, many beautiful places that offered tranquility and were beautifully spoiled by ugly architecture and Marxist art objects Views blight and tranquility drained from the parks. People suddenly live in a museum, with map and signs included. The municipality calls it "working-class neighborhoods" on the website. "Come on darling, let's see people" It's an Archeon without the actors getting paid. Cemeteries are run over by people who have nothing to do with the city and the people who rest there, Amsterdam is simply full and therefore too expensive. Nice run along the tombstones of family and ancestors of the people in the working-class neighborhoods. A kind of non-stop four days of unworldly D66-like people through the streets where people live and live. Your street is no longer a street but a "park". An attempt by D66 / Groenlinks to stimulate tourism and go towards a small Amsterdam. Nothing has been created that would like to be thought. All the places were already there, only you had to show a little character, personality and initiative to get there. People prefer to walk on a dotted line in a parade, it is just a matter of waiting on a conveyor belt. A procession through residential areas and cemeteries on the weekends remains an ugly sight. The housing market is already broken, so one must have thought why not crank up more Airbnb homes.

This is a nice walk of just over 6 kilometers. Easy to do with children (6 and 10) because of the many playgrounds and sights along the way. Download the IZI travel app and select one of the two Singelpark routes for audio guidance with fun info and facts.

Fijne wandeling. Met koffie en broodjes to go . Toiletbezoek was soms mogelijk

Beautiful walk. And you stay within the girths.

Singelpark is largely still under development and is a collective name for several smaller parks, each of which is beautiful. From 1 September there will be a number of new bridges, allowing you to walk along the SIngel (partly old city wall that was once demolished), and thus walk from park to park. Unfortunately, google maps more or less designates the center in a specific location on the Haarlemerstraat. Nice shopping street, but there is no green to be found there and it is not possible to change this. In fact, the Singelpark is a border of the old city in 2020.
