We do not know much about specific Dutch parks, but all major cities surely must have had plesant parks. We note a group of boys in a Rotterdam park at the turn-of-the 20th century (figure 1). The park is not identified other than the location. We would guess it is the city's largest park or at least one of them so our Dutch readers may recognize it. They seem to be a group, perhaps a school group. It seems to be a weekend. The boys are all dressed up for the park visit. We don't think that the boys would have dressed up like that unless they were part of some supervised group or with their parents. We are not sure why they are in the park. Perhaps to enjoy an open-air concert. Notice the boys and the adults bring apparatusses that they can used to sit on, suggesting that some entertainment was being offered. On the previuous page we see the Weizichpark in Amsterdam during 1955 which looks like a leasant green area. The children are walking on the pathway. We are not sure just what they are going to do in the park. They seem to have the park to themselves. One of the most popular places in the Netherlands is the Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp). We notice two unidentified brothers visiting the Zoo on a warm spring day (1984).
