The Amsterdamse Bos, or Amsterdam Forest, is a 1,000-hectare landscape park spanning Amstelveen and Amsterdam, designed by Jakoba Mulder and Cornelis van Eesteren and begun in 1930. Constructed largely through unemployment relief programs during the early 1930s, the park was not fully completed until the 1970s due to World War II. Approximately three times the size of Central Park in New York, it attracts nearly 4.5 million visitors annually and contains animal parks, sporting facilities, rowing courses, gardens, and monuments. The park has hosted political gatherings, concerts, and demonstrations, notably on the Vietnam Meadow before it was converted to a tennis venue in 1994. The A9 motorway bisects though does not provide access to the grounds.
