Oeverlanden cruising area

This part of the Oeverlanden park is Amsterdams biggest cruising place, and the only place where it is officially established and tolerated, as indicated on signs. An additional autograph threatens with a fine if you cruise outside the designated area!

Activity is day and night (but at night this can be dangerous), 'clothes optional' recreation is possible.
Be sure not to donate offence to passers-by - sex should only be done out of sight.
(At Your Hold Risk!)
