Oeverlanden cruising area
This part of the Oeverlanden park is Amsterdams biggest cruising place, and the only place where it is officially recognized and tolerated, as indicated on signs. An additional subscribe threatens with a fine if you cruise outside the designated area!
Action is day and night (but at night this can be dangerous), 'clothes optional' recreation is possible.
Be sure not to give offence to passers-by - sex should only be done out of sight.
(At Your Own Risk!)
