This park is pure tranquility. My cousin and I found ourselves going from park to park in Brussels,…read moreand this one stood out the most. It's very cozy and tight nit, with beautiful trees, grass, and concrete (but not exactly sidewalk-like) walkways. Small wooden fences line many of the paths, and every now and then you'll come across a small field or areas made of dirt and pebbles to sit down while your dog or kids play. Additionally, there is a soccer court and playground hidden inside. The park is very clean, and has dog-waste baggies available to use. If you're in the area (or not), go here!

Parc Tenbosch is a small and unassuming park but walk in it and you will be wowed! I organized a…read morefriend's going away get together at this park (upon the suggestion of the said friend) and was so happy to have the chance to visit the park--it is extremely well tamed and cared for, no trash (outside of the trash bins) in site--a rare occurrence in Brussels, sadly! Unfortunately, we visited on a crappy (weather-wise) day, so didn't get to fully enjoy the park. There is a large area for kids to play in but leave the dog at home if you want to go in there as no dogs are allowed. My friend told me that when the weather is nice, they will put out beach chairs for people to enjoy and normally the park is quite crowded on these days! Looking forward to returning again when there is better weather!

This park and lake is hard to miss so I often used it as an easy landmark to explore the city. It…read morealso has many types of birds surrounding it from swans to pigeons. They're somewhat enjoyable to watch so when passing through we'd stop for a bit. This place also made a nice area to jog and you can easily walk the perimeter. You can't really go near the water or the birds due to a railing. So unless you decide to break that rule then you can't really mess around with either and either can't bother you. I can't imagine it's worth going to the water as there is a lot of bird waste lining the banks of the lake. Despite that its not particularly smelly or gross... the rain makes short work of the waste and there are plenty of benches for sitting on the sidewalk underneath the trees. All in all, beautiful little area with all sorts of wildlife to watch.
