Rembrandtpark

Rembrandtpark (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrɛmbrɑntˌpɑr(ə)k]) is an urban park in Nieuw-West, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The park was completed in 1973 and has a surface area of 45 hectares (110 acres) which includes a petting zoo and playgrounds.

In 1935, Van Eesteren made the General Expansion Plan which determined the current size and location of the park based on guidelines of 5.3 m2 (57 sq ft) of park area and 11.2 m2 (121 sq ft) of recreational area per inhabitant.

In 1961, Egbert Mos of the municipality made a design for the park, but this was not realized because of insufficient budget.

[2] In 1970, F. G. Breman of the municipality and landscape architect Janneke Willemsen made a design for the park with an area for active recreation containing a wild garden, a school garden, a petting zoo, and a rough playground and an area for passive recreation.
