The Flevoparkbad is a great outdoor swimmingpool in Amsterdam!
2,5 acres (4 hectare) of parkland with an Olympic sized (50 meter) pool for swimming laps or training (150 cm-350 cm deep), an equally sized shallow pool (40 cm-150 cm deep) for children and a special pool for toddlers.
The water is heated. Large meadows for sunbathing or relaxing in the shade of trees, playground, sport facilities, and a cafetaria. Plenty of lockers to leave your valuables.
Be welcome and enjoy!

The Friends of Flevoparkbad (Vrienden van het Flevoparkbad) aim to preserve this pool as an public open air swimming pool. That’s what this website is about. This great lido is in danger. We invested since 2012 enormous effort and that achieved results: the local government has renovated the pool to improve it after years of neglect. We proved to the local governement  that the Flevoparkbad has a lot of fans. Yet the future of the Flevoparkbad as an open air swimming pool is not secured. The owner, the municipality of Amsterdam has plans to transform this pool to a mere indoor-pool. Great for lovers of swimming in an indoor fishtank all year round, but not for us. It would mean the loss of the trees, the meadows and an inferior small outdoor pool. At the same time the municipality studies on a plan to transform the whole pool to a tram shed. due to “the lack of space” for tram sheds in the new dwelling areas that the city is planing to build on Zeeburgereiland and IJburg.  Crazy idea? Of course! We think it’s a lovely green area and outdoor pool that’s  worth preserving. If you are a fan too, as we hope, whether you are a tourist or an expat, sign our petition.
