Pierenbadje Gibraltarbad
A hidden gem paddling pool in the Bos en Lommer district of Amsterdam-West, designed by architect Ko Mulder. The shallow water is surrounded by sculptural artwork including a bronze fountain and a bright blue octopus with a mini slide. Well-maintained by the municipality with shade-providing trees and seasonal operation during warm weather months.
This unmarked pool is deliberately inconspicuous—follow directions from Bos en Lommerweg through Kijkduinstraat to find it. Open 8am–4pm (later in hot weather) with supervision almost always present except in rain.
