The renovated Bijlmer Park is home to the famous Kwakoefestival and it's also an obvious choice for a relaxing stroll on a sunny day in Zuidoost. Since over 8,500 trees were cut down to make way for the completion of the new park in 2011, not everybody was amused with this project. But the expansion of park and its waters has actually resulted in a wider diversity of flora and fauna. Tree-huggers can at least enjoy 130 different trees in the garden, each representing a nationality of the residents living in this part of town!
