Sarphatipark is a compact urban park in the De Pijp district of Amsterdam, named after the 19th-century city planner Samuel Sarphati. It provides green space, a pond and play areas within a dense residential neighbourhood.

The park contains lawns, tree cover, seating and a small pond that make it a local recreational area for residents and visitors to the De Pijp quarter. It is commonly used for short walks, dog-walking and informal relaxation.

The park was established as part of the 19th-century expansion of Amsterdam and remains a neighbourhood green space rather than a large city park. Facilities are modest and geared to everyday local use.

Sarphatipark sits in the southern-central part of Amsterdam’s canal belt, within walking distance of the Albert Cuyp Market and the cafés and shops of De Pijp.

• Location tip: Located in the De Pijp neighbourhood, it sits a short walk from the Albert Cuyp Market and many cafés, making it a convenient stop on a neighbourhood stroll.

From Amsterdam Centraal, take tram 3, 4, 12, or 24 toward De Pijp and alight near Ceintuurbaan/Sarphatipark; it’s a short walk from the Heineken Experience and Albert Cuyp Market. The park is within easy cycling distance from central Amsterdam.

• Visit early morning to see dog‑walkers and locals practicing tai chi before tourist foot traffic picks up.
• Bring coffee and sit on the curved benches inspired by Berlage to watch the neighborhood wake.
• Look for subtle Art Nouveau details on surrounding houses that many passersby miss.
