Parking Schinkelbos, Amstelveen

If you’re searching for parking Schinkelbos, the fastest way is to match your parking plan to the local mix of free bays, paid hourly parking, and blue-zone time limits around Amsterdamse Bos.

Pre-book private parking near Schinkelbos with Mobypark

Mobypark lets you book private parking spots that owners don’t actively use—think unused hotel/office parking spaces, private driveways, or spare garage capacity. Instead of arriving and hoping a nearby public lot has space (or fits your timing), you can reserve in advance, pay online, and follow the directions for your booked spot when you arrive.

This is especially useful if you want flexibility, because several public areas around Schinkelbos have maximum parking durations or operate with a parking disc in blue zones—so pre-booking can help you avoid time pressure.

Public parking near Schinkelbos: where it’s free and where it’s paid

Public parking around Amsterdamse Bos is not uniform. In general, parking is free in many places, but not everywhere:

• Free (with limits): parking areas by the Dachaumonument, the small parking area by the Geitenboerderij, and the roadside bays near the Boswinkel can be free, but they have maximum stay limits.
• Paid lot: Parking terrein Hoofdentree is a paid parking area.

For drivers planning a longer walk into Schinkelbos, it’s worth checking the signs at the car park you use—rules can change from one parking area to another.

Paid hourly parking at Hoofdentree (and capacity changes)

Parking terrein Hoofdentree has a defined hourly tariff: €3.12 per hour (i.e., €0.52 per 10 minutes) and paid parking applies Monday to Saturday, 9:00–19:00. The site also notes that there may be temporarily fewer spaces due to works connected to the Sportas.

If you end up using Hoofdentree for an extended stay, costs can add up quickly—booking on Mobypark can be a practical alternative when you want to avoid hourly-time pressure.

Blue zones and maximum parking times (parking disc required)

Some parking areas in Amsterdamse Bos are set up as blue zones: parking can be free for a limited time, but you need a parking disc to show your arrival time. Disabled parking spaces are excluded from the time-limit rules.

• Up to 3 hours (with a parking disc): applies at the Dachaumonument area, the small Geitenboerderij parking area, and the Boswinkel roadside bays, 9:00–19:00 daily.
• Up to 4 hours (with a parking disc): applies at the Sportpark parking areas, Mon–Sat 9:00–18:00.
• Up to 6 hours: applies to P Emmakade under Mon–Sat 9:00–18:00.

If your plan is a relaxed, long walk in and around Schinkelbos, public time limits can force you to return earlier than you want—comparing a reserved spot on Mobypark is often the simplest way to park without constantly monitoring the clock.

EV charging near Schinkelbos

If you drive an EV, you may find electric charging points at multiple parking areas within Amsterdamse Bos. Availability and details vary by car park, so it helps to check before you commit.

When you book via Mobypark, you can also compare parking options that fit your needs (including EV charging, if available in the spot you choose).

Choose the correct parking entrance for Schinkelbos (Bosrandweg / Mr. Jac. Takkade)
