The pond has a rectangular shape and is surrounded by forest plots that connect to the Osbroek nature reserve.
At the beginning of the Spiegelvijver in the Stadspark of Aalst there is a striking arched construction. This gate was originally built in 1758 as part of the rear buildings of the old Van der Haegen house at Nieuwstraat 37. In 1964, when this house was demolished, the city council bought the row of arches and had them rebuilt at the beginning of the Spiegelvijver.
This historic gate gives the corner of the city park a particularly idyllic character and is a beautiful addition to the landscape design of the park.

Strolling around the Mirror Pond is a moment to reflect yourself.
Where you stand today is a courageous decision by the city council in 1915.
The 19ha city park is a walk in itself. During this walk it may be enough to take a stroll, past the playground, the ponds and the sparkling fountains. This is an ideal place to have a drink. Near the playground you will find the cozy Melkhuisje, in the middle of the greenery, with its pleasant terrace. In the past, alcoholic drinks were not allowed to be served here, in order to do justice to the healthy character of the park. Today it is different.
