Description

This is one of the largest parks in the capital, covering an area of almost 69 hectares. Its history is closely linked to that of the creation of avenue de Tervueren as part of the 1897 World Expo. The exhibition took place on two sites (the Parc du Cinquantenaire and the Domaine Royal de Tervueren). These two sites had to be connected, so a landscaped park was designed along the avenue to embellish it and attract the capital’s bourgeoisie. A plot of land was identified consisting of marshland and agricultural land with no real relief on the edge of the Sonian Forest. The landscape architect Emile Lainé was entrusted with the design of the project. Earthworks were undertaken, using the soil removed during the creation of the four ponds to give the park its rugged English-inspired relief. The park is also known for its wide variety of trees, some 180 different species in all.
