Woluwe Park

It is one of the largest parks in the capital with its nearly 69 hectares, its history is intimately linked to that of the creation of the avenue de Tervueren within the framework of the Universal Exhibition of 1897. The distribution of the exhibition on two sites (the Parc du Cinquantenaire and the royal estate of Tervueren) requiring a connecting axis, a landscaped park is envisaged along the avenue to embellish it and attract the bourgeois of the capital.

Landscape architect Emile Lainé will be entrusted with the development project. Earthworks will be undertaken, using in particular the earth removed during the construction of the four ponds to give the park its rugged relief of English inspiration. The park is also distinguished by the variety of its trees with some 180 different species.
