Besides its beautiful forests and glistening lakes, Amsterdamse Bos also has a large goat farm that can be visited without charge.

A newer Amsterdam park, Westerpark used to be the property of the Wester Gasfabriek, a coal-fired gas power plant. After its closure in the late 1960s, the area lay derelict for years and became a not-so-nice place to be. In the 1990s squatters and artists moved in, followed by the city of Amsterdam. They decided to clean up the pollution and make a lovely park on the property, and they did an amazing job! The redevelopment has given the area a great gentrification boost and brought a lot of life to the neighborhood.
