Gorgeous park! Would be great for some photography, a nice stroll, running, or a little relaxation. Great size and plenty of seating alongside more than a few landmarks to explore. Recommend at least a walk around if you're in Brussels!

Beautiful park! Gives Central Park vibes, but much smaller and no homeless people. Really nice place for a walk, picnic, or even to rest your tired feet. There’s a cafe in the park as well for a coffee or snack. Close to a few major attractions.

Beautiful park for a picnic lunch. We grabbed sandwiches and came here to eat them by the fountain. It was so nice to people watch and just relax a bit from all the sightseeing. I recommend this park to anyone as it has tons of benches where you can sit down and enjoy. We saw tons of people reading, working out, hanging out, and just enjoying the beautiful views and weather.

This is a nice park, not bigger not smaller than the other parks in Bruxelles. People come here to enjoy the nature, take a walk with their dog or to simply hang out in one of the bars or kiosks here. There are also many benches and little walls to sit on. You can find designated picnic areas near the fountain.

Park in the City Centre of Brussels with a fountain and playgrounds and lots of grass area for people to enjoy, some benches here and there. But, frankly, I was expecting something much better and much more presentable within the heart of Brussels and so close to the Palace.
