Amsterdam's greenery remains stable, more green spaces in neighborhoods

In Amsterdam, the greenery is currently stable. The greenery means trees, plants, and grass in the city. Some neighborhoods are even getting more greenery now.

This can be in streets, parks, or small gardens. Every district of Amsterdam has greenery, but there are differences. In one part there are more parks, in another part there are more small gardens or trees along the road.

The greenest district of Amsterdam is Amsterdam-Noord (Amsterdam North). Here are large parks and many trees. There is less greenery in the city center because there are many houses and shops.

But the municipality is also trying to plant more plants and trees in the center. The most popular park in Amsterdam is the Vondelpark. Many people go here to walk, cycle, or have a picnic.

It is especially busy in the park during the summer. Other well-known parks in the city are Westerpark and Oosterpark. The municipality finds it important that there is enough greenery.

Greenery is good for people and for animals. That is why the municipality is working on more greenery in all neighborhoods.
