Small park (only a little more than 1 hectare), remnant of a domain that was once five times as large.
It is clearly very popular among fishermen.

The Pond Park was part of the castle park owned by the Cotteau de Patin family. The castle now houses the town hall.

Originally, the pond was located between the castle and St. Paul's Church in an area of more than 5 hectares. The pond itself was much larger than it is now and was appropriately shaped like a swan. The park was opened to the general public once a year and could already receive recreational visitors avant la lettre. When the Ypres-Oostende railway was constructed in the second half of the 19th century, the domain was split almost in half and the pond was given a new and definitive location between the castle and the station. This railway line 63 was opened around 1873 (and remained in use until 1955).
