Este era o parque que gostava de ter á porta de casa. São quase 50 hectares de relvado, lagos, arvoredo abundante, parques infantis, arte entre outras actividades para aproveitar os dias de bom tempo. Estava bastante triste com a possibilidade de não poder andar por aqui, não parava de chover mas estranhamente ao final do dia já eram quase nove da noite, o sol apareceu já com pouca força mas a suficiente para pelo o parque ver gente a fazer jogging, a passear o cão, a andar de bicicleta, a beber uma cerveja no relvado cantando, etc..
I would love to have this park at my doorstep. It's nearly 50 acres of lawns, lakes, abundant trees, playgrounds, art and other activities to enjoy the nice weather. I was pretty sad about the possibility of not being able to stroll along it, it would stop raining but strangely at the end of the day it was almost nine in the evening, the sun appeared with less strength but enough to see people at the park jogging, walking their dog, riding bikes, drinking beer on the grass while singing, etc. ..
Tudo começou em 1864 quando um grupo de cidadãos influentes juntou dinheiro para construir um parque para disfrutar de bons passeios. Nessa altura chamavam-lhe o Nieuwe Park mas o nome mudou quando se colocou a estátua do poeta Joost Van den Vondel dois anos depois da sua abertura em 1865.
Entre cafés, cinemas e outras infrasestruturas, destacaria o Openluchttheather (teatro ao ar livre) onde podemos ver concertos, bailados, peças de teatro, etc.. Funciona de Junho a Agosto e é de entrada livre. (Website: http://www.openluchttheater.nl/programma)
Conseguimos apanhar este concerto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHwE25rD9EM do pianista Ivo Janssen acompanhado por quatro músicos que tocavam Marimbas, creio que foi a primeira vez na minha vida que vi algo do género e ainda mais gratuito.
Queríamos ter ido com mais tempo (e melhor meteorologia) para sentar na relva junto a um lago, fazer um piquenique ou ler um livro.
It all started in 1864 when a group of influential citizens gathered money to build a park to enjoy some good strolls. At that time they called it the Nieuwe Park but the name was changed when it a statue of the poet Joost van den Vondel was place there two years after its opening in 1865.
Among cafes, cinemas and other infrastructures, the highlight for me was the Openluchttheather (open air theater) where we can see concerts, ballets, plays, etc. .. Runs from June to August and is free entry. (Website: http://www.openluchttheater.nl/programma)
We managed to catch this concert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHwE25rD9EM by pianist Ivo Janssen accompanied by four musicians who played Marimbas, I believe it was the first time in my life I saw something like that and for free .
We wanted to have stayed longer (and better weather) to sit on the grass next to a lake, have a picnic or read a book.
