Is it wheelchair accessible?

Quick answer

  • Yes, New Ameland Square is designed to be wheelchair accessible. The square features flat, paved surfaces without stairs, making it easily navigable for individuals using wheelchairs or mobility aids.
New Ameland Square was part of a major renovation project designed to improve its functionality and accessibility. A key objective of this redevelopment was to create a modern, inclusive public space. As such, the square is largely flat and paved with smooth surfaces, making it highly accessible for wheelchair users. There are no steps or significant obstacles within the main areas of the square. Access points from surrounding streets are also designed to accommodate wheelchairs, often with gentle slopes or at street level. This facilitates easy movement for individuals with mobility challenges, as well as for parents with strollers. While the square itself is accessible, visitors should note that individual shops or restaurants surrounding the square may have their own accessibility features, which can vary. However, moving freely within the square itself should not pose a problem for wheelchair users.
