Sarphatipark, nestled in the vibrant De Pijp neighborhood of Amsterdam, is a delightful urban park. It offers a tranquil escape with its lush greenery and open spaces. You’ll find playgrounds, sports facilities like volleyball and basketball courts, and grassy fields ideal for picnicking.
The park is named after Samuel Sarphati, a 19th-century philanthropist who contributed greatly to Amsterdam. A monument in his honor stands proudly within the park.
A large pond sits at the heart of Sarphatipark, kept clean by marsh plants. Berries and herbs grow throughout the park, adding to its natural charm.
It’s good to know you can’t barbecue here, and dogs can roam freely in designated areas. A late 19th-century pumping station keeps the park dry due to its lower elevation compared to the surrounding city.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Sarphatipark is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Amsterdam.

The park’s design is unique. It lies lower than the surrounding area, which means it’s kept dry by a pumping station built in 1884. It’s an interesting piece of engineering history.
