Vijfhoekpark

Park

👍 As I was staying in the Bastion Hotel across from the park I took a quick walk around the small lake. It is a lovely ecological park. Lots of benches to sit and admire the view. There are highland cattle roaming free, so you need to be aware and watch where you step. People often mention park, walk, cows, Great,

    I like this small park. Usually I with friends or family going there for a walk or running. Nice to see the cows and sometimes we enjoy the lakes sitting for a while. Sometimes the lake frozen in a cold winter then it's a great chance to go there skating. I like also the tools of some kind of sports

    One of my favourite parks for a walk with the dog. Mind the big cows who may not be friendly!

    Great Park! The storms have mutilated a lot of the trees but the park still manages to persist with beauty. There are paths through forest-y areas and some at the lake. Benches are present as well. Some cows can be seen walking freely around the parkside, do not come too close.

    A lovely park, kept in as natural a state as possible, with a small herd of Scottish cows to keep vegetation under control.... It's a lovely place to enjoy nature and hear birdsong close to town.

    Great place to go with your dog and enjoy nature. Schotische bulls are walking around, so don't go near them, there string and big.

    Nice small park with a route around the lake where you can see some wild life. Quite wild compared to Amsterdam parks.

    Free entrance park, lots of animals and plants to take a look. It has a great walking pad all around the lake. It is a shame has been destroyed half of the park to build a gas station. Nature will be less and less with the years.

    Great little local park. Perfect for a quick stroll with or without dog. And you get a peak at the woolly cows.

    You hear a lot the cars on the walk, but very nice place to walk the dogs!

    A wonderful wild park in the area. Tiny but mighty. Even the air here smells different - fresh and sweet - than the surrounding streets. And the birdsong in spring is nothing short of a little miracle we all need after all day staring at computer screens.
