Clothing-optional sunbathing is allowed, and swimming in the lake is also possible. This recreational area gets crowded in the summer. Oeverlanden refers to the park area, and Nieuwe Meer is a small lake located just outside the city centre. Perhaps the most popular cruising spot in Amsterdam. Head toward southeast corner of the park. To get there take the tram (line 3,7,9,10 and 14) and bus.
This park gets cruisy after sunset as the park gets very dark, popular with local Arab guys.
During the summer Nieuwe Meer is also a clothing-optional gay recreation area with lots of cruising in the bushes. Cruising takes place at Nieuwe Meer (Anton Schleperspad) day and night and Vondelpark (near Leidseplein) day and night, at the rose garden in the center of the park.There are no police checks in these areas so be careful about robbery and muggings.
