Aalst City Park, also known as Park Schepen De Wolf, is a 15-hectare green oasis southeast of the city center. The park was created between 1915 and 1916 by landscape architect Louis-Julien Breydel, under the direction of Alderman Désiré De Wolf, to provide employment for residents during the First World War. You'll find charming water features such as the Balloon Pond and Mirror Pond, walking paths, playgrounds, and historic buildings like the garden, card, and milk houses. Since 1977, the park has been a protected cultural-historical landscape and offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and relaxation.
