Lonely Planet review for Westergasfabriek

If you go through the gate and head west along busy Haarlemmerweg, you’ll come to Westergasfabriek, a late-19th-century Dutch Renaissance complex. It was the city gasworks until it was all but abandoned in the 1960s, its soil contaminated. Now the soil has been replaced with lawns, a long pool suitable for wading (bring the kids), sports facilities and even child care. As you move west away from town, reedy wilderness, with marshes and shallow waterfalls, begins to take over.
