Dijkgraafplein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dijkgraafplein is a square in Amsterdam-Osdorp in the Netherlands, lying at the end of Tussen Meer. The square is named after the office of dijkgraaf (the chairman of a water board) in 1962. The Dijkgraafplein lies in the neighborhood that is now known as 'De Punt' and where many streets are named after waterways.
