A green oasis of tranquility in the middle of the busy De Pijp neighborhood.
Sarphatipark has a playground and a play forest. There is also a place for volleyball, basketball, and table tennis. There are grassy areas for sitting and a large pond. Marsh plants keep the water in the pond clean. Berry bushes and herbs grow in various places throughout the park.
In the park stands a monument to Samuel Sarphati, after whom the park is named. He did much good work for Amsterdam in the 19th century. Sarphatipark lies lower than the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, there is a pumping station from 1884 that keeps the park dry.
