The Citadel Park was laid out in 1875, designed by H. Van Hulle, on the site of the citadel, which was built between 1819 and 1831. The landscaped park features numerous deciduous trees, lawns and flowerbeds, wide avenues, ponds, artificial grottoes, waterfalls, rose gardens, and a pergola. Some of the park's buildings include the Museum of Fine Arts, the Feest- en Floraliapaleis (Festival and Floralia Palace), the citadel's entrance gate, the open-air theater, and the animal shelter.

Historically, the Keuzemeersen are a deposit area of the old Leie that meandered in a former flat valley. The Keuzemeersen are therefore located in a bend of the Leie as well as further downstream on the left bank of the Leie, where the typical meadow landscape has been preserved: small meadow plots with pollard willows, a riverbank and a fine-meshed network of ditches with associated fauna and flora. An adjustable weir regulates the water level of the central meadows. The Keuzemeersen are located near a place that is historically described as Keuze. These meadows are part of a whole of connected areas that contain the word "meers" as a name, including the Latemse Meersen, the Beelaertmeersen, the Blaarmeersen and the Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen.

The Citadel Park in Ghent is one of the largest and most famous parks in the city. It is located south of the historic center, near the Sint-Pieters station. The park was built on the site of a citadel, built after the Belgian Revolution to defend the city. However, the citadel was never used for military purposes, and the park was finally built in 1875. The Citadel Park is a popular place for both locals and tourists to walk, relax or enjoy nature. The park is also home to several cultural attractions, such as the Museum of Fine Arts (MSK) and the S.M.A.K. (Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art). With its ponds, walking paths, statues and green areas, the park offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

There used to be a hof van plaisance (country house) here, which was depicted in 1755 in the middle of a park, which even contained an amphitheater. In 1894 the castle was rebuilt according to a design by Achille Marchand. The park was laid out in the English landscape style at the end of the 19th century. A pond, an ice cellar with a pavilion above it have been built. There are also bridges, a boathouse and a cave. There are three monumental chestnut trees, including possibly the thickest chestnut tree in Belgium. The castle was built in an eclectic style and made of brick and bluestone. The hall is decorated with sgraffito. In addition to the castle, there is a staff house with stables and a coach house with horse stables. These buildings also date from 1894.

This neighborhood park is no less than six hectares in size and is located where the buildings of the textile factory La Lys used to be. There is room to walk, cycle or skate on the paved paths, grab a bite to eat at the immense picnic table or exercise on the open lawn. The neighborhood park consists of two parts: a classic part along the Nieuwe Walk and a wild new part against the Leie. The classical part is laid out in the English landscape style. The wild part is located where the buildings of the textile factory La Lys used to be.
