The park also offers play areas for children and even a dog free grassy area for anyone doesn’t want to deal with dog mess or has a fear of dogs.
The park isn’t huge by any means, in fact its rather small in size. So activities such as playing football or anything that requires a considerable amount of space may be difficult, if not impossible.
Despite it’s small size, the Sarphatipark is among the most beautiful parks in Amsterdam, with even more history behind it.
