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!

Loving running at Bois de La Cambre. I love the nature, it's fresh air... This place has a great…read morerunning trail, and I mean is just gorgeous, I don't even get bored and most confess that after years choosing this spot for a run I still get surprised finding a new spot. Is very well conserved, which gives me great joy, to see that everybody is conscious on keeping this beauty alive. I used to live right in front of it and back then I didnt like all the dust in my terrace, now, living few blocks away yelp!!! I go everynow and then.

One of the most beautiful parks just a few kilometers off Avenue Louise. Most people go to Bois de…read morela Cambre for a walk on a sunny day; I do my running trainings there. One big loupe all the way from avenue Louise is 4.5 km and the smaller loupe around the lake 2.5 km. There is also the entrance to the forest if you really want to get lost in nature. A great choice for a hike, walk or run very close to Brussels' busy neighborhood

My wife planned to pass by this park during our walking day tour of Brussels. Without any…read moreexpectations, the first impression I got from this public garden was that of London's Hyde Park, which we had the pleasure of visiting a week before. It wasn't crowded on Saturday morning when we passed through. This was a soak it in moment upon seeing the serenity amid the bustling chaos during the wekeday. I marveled at the comical sculptures of Geluck's Le Chat (The Cat) as well as the older figures situated in the vicinity. Snapped a lot of photos is what I did.

This is a beautiful park near the Royal Palace. Lots of shade trees and space for walking and…read moremeditating. Be sure to take a stroll through the row of Le Chat statues. Like many places in Europe, there are no free public toilets, however there is a portable bathroom with attendants available for 50 cents.

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.
