The Boverie Park is located at the confluence of the Meuse and the Dérivation (canal that surrounds parts of the city). It is very popular with the people of Liège, both young and old, and has been since the 14th century.

The park and the garden that goes with it were created in the second half of the 19th century. This public park on the banks of the Meuse was changed in 1874 by the engineer G. Blonden. He replaced the small buildings of the time (kiosks, restaurant, animal cages) with green areas with trees. He kept the landscape plan in its north-west orientation. But the south-west part was converted into a linear garden. The pergola and the rose garden are particularly worth seeing. The park was the outer frame for the 1905 World Exhibition. At that time, the Palace of Fine Arts, the building of the World Exhibition, was built in the park.

Today, the new La Boverie Museum is located in this green area in the former World Exhibition building - both an art museum and a center for international exhibitions. The museum opened on May 5, 2016.

The Parc de la Boverie is a park in the city of Liège, located on the southern tip of the island of Outremeuse, between the Meuse and the Liège drainage canal.

The park was designed in 1862 by architect Julien Rémont and inaugurated in 1863. Rémont was commissioned after a match in which he had to compete against Jean Gindra and Édouard Keilig, among others.

The park was one of the main locations of the 1905 World Exhibition and the 1930 World Exhibition. The park houses the 1958 Congress Palace of Liège, a Holiday Inn hotel, several water sports clubs and the 1905 Palace of Fine Arts of Liège. This Palace is the location of the former Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMAC), now the La Boverie Museum, which opened in 2016. Since 2016, the park has been directly accessible for cyclists and pedestrians via the Passerelle La Belle Liégeoise across the Meuse from the station area near Liège-Guillemins.

The name Boverie or Bouverie is Gallo-Roman and comes from the Latin Bovaria and refers to the habitat of cattle. The island has been a green zone within the ramparts of Liège since the 14th century.
