Bijlmerweide is a free, 1970s green recreation area on the eastern edge of Amsterdam-Zuidoost, laced with walking trails, ponds and footbridges and home to a much-loved city farm. Tucked between the low-rise Kantershof and Geerdinkhof neighbourhoods and the Gaasp river, it is one of the quietest, most family-friendly corners of the Bijlmer — open around the clock and free to enter.
Bijlmerweide is a public park and nature area in Amsterdam-Zuidoost, laid out in the mid-1970s at the same time as the surrounding Kantershof and Geerdinkhof estates. It sits west of the Gaasp river and Diemerpark, north of Gaasperpark and the Gaasperplas lake, and is criss-crossed by quiet footpaths, waterways and small bridges.
A major renovation in 2014 replaced 19 of the park’s bridges and improved the connections between its ponds and streams, making the whole area easier to walk and cycle through. Today it is cared for in part by a local volunteers’ group dedicated to protecting and developing the nature park.
Bijlmerweide is built for easy, low-key outdoor time rather than big attractions. The main draws are walking and cycling the waterside paths, letting children loose on a nature playground, and visiting the city farm.
The heart of the park for families is Kinderboerderij De Bijlmerweide, a free children’s farm founded in 1984 by neighbourhood residents. It is a recognised educational and rare-breed breeding centre as well as a care farm, and it keeps a wide range of animals — cows, donkeys, goats, sheep, pigs, swans, geese, ducks, chickens, peacocks, pheasants, rabbits, ferrets and bees among them.
Alongside the animals there is a large playground and a small canteen serving the farm’s own free-range eggs and honey, plus coffee, tea, toasties, snacks and ice cream. The farm is open to the public six days a week (the park itself is open around the clock).
The easiest route by public transport is metro line 53 to its eastern terminus, Gaasperplas, followed by roughly a 25–30 minute walk into the park; local bus services also stop nearby. By car or bike, the park runs along the Provincialeweg between Diemen and Weesp, on the edge of Amsterdam-Zuidoost.
If you are exploring green Amsterdam-Zuidoost, Bijlmerweide pairs well with the neighbouring Diemerpark and, further north, the lakes and woodland of Het Twiske.
Yes. Bijlmerweide park is free and open to the public 24 hours a day, and the on-site children’s farm, Kinderboerderij De Bijlmerweide, is also free to enter.
Yes. Kinderboerderij De Bijlmerweide is a children’s farm inside the park, founded in 1984. It keeps cows, goats, sheep, pigs, donkeys, rabbits, poultry and more, and has a playground and a canteen with its own eggs and honey.
Yes. Bijlmerweide is dog-friendly, with open space for dogs to walk and roam along the park’s trails.
Take metro line 53 to Gaasperplas, then walk about 25–30 minutes into the park, or use one of the local bus services that stop nearby.
