Beatrixpark

The Beatrixpark

The Beatrixpark is a small park in the south of Amsterdam. It was established in 1938.
De Vereniging Vrienden van het Beatrixpark  has been founded in 1981 by residents to prevent a part of the park being sacrificied for building purposes.  The vereniging did not succeed in preventing this.
However, what has been achieved, is the addition of a piece of wasteland to the park called “the wetlands valley”. This part of the park does not exist anymore; it has in part been used for buildings belonging to the Zuidas.
In 2005 the eldest part of the park received the status ‘Monumental’, which gives it a certain protection.
At the moment parts of the southern area of the park are being re-designed; the Vereniging is involved in this process.
The Vereniging has about 1.000 members at the moment.
