Because that's what we do, and have been doing for over hundred years; we take a walk in the park, have a drink on the terrace, lay down in the gras, take your small children to the (free) children's pool or to the melkhuis (with a huge playground with terrace) , let your 16th years olds go by themselves at summer nights to the park (no it's not dangerous) and hang with the other local kids in front of the Picasso statue, walk your dog. Meet up at the Blauwe theehuis, watch a free concert...
