Reason: All part of my project to 52-Weeks project to visit all parks in Amsterdam.
Funenpark: Funenpark is a street in Amsterdam Center. The street is located in the Het Funen district, which is also popularly known as Funenpark. Funenpark (not a park) belongs to the Eastern Islands in Amsterdam and was named in 2003 after the Danish island of Funen. The Funenkade is also nearby. Contrary to what the name suggests, it is not a park.
Until the 19th century, the Zeeburg stronghold was located here. After that, a Van Gend & Loos transshipment site was established until the late 1970s. After a long period of vacancy and decay, 551 homes were built in the area in the early 21st century, then renamed Funenpark. Before refurbishing, archaeological research was carried out in which the wall remains of the stronghold were found. Those remnants were then made permanently visible as part of the sculpture group Tussentijd.
The somewhat triangular neighborhood is located between the Lozingskanaal (south), the footpath that bisects the park from north to south (west) and Keerwal (east). The latter is located where the eastern retaining wall of Amsterdam once stood, but since 2003 the street name along the railway line Amsterdam Central Station and Amsterdam Muiderpoort Station. The street and the park form the largest part of the district. They are bordered by the buildings on the Cruquiuskade (south); buildings on Kraijenhoffstraat (east) and buildings on Keerwal (east). Street and park are for pedestrians only. Street and park have exits on all streets around the park. Soon, part of the park was confiscated for the construction of a playground for adjacent schools.
All paving is made of pentagonal tiles in all shapes, sizes and shades of gray.
Intermediate is an artistic work of art by Gabriel Lester in the paths strip that refer to the history of this place.

Parks to visit: In September 2017 the idea was born to make a selfie in at least every park in Amsterdam with at least a little importance. This was the last park of the list This project started in 2017 and is for now completed till new parks are constructed in Amsterdam (IJburg, Schellingwoude, Havens-West). In total I have 42 selfie's made for this project.
