My wife planned to pass by this park during our walking day tour of Brussels. Without any…read moreexpectations, the first impression I got from this public garden was that of London's Hyde Park, which we had the pleasure of visiting a week before. It wasn't crowded on Saturday morning when we passed through. This was a soak it in moment upon seeing the serenity amid the bustling chaos during the wekeday. I marveled at the comical sculptures of Geluck's Le Chat (The Cat) as well as the older figures situated in the vicinity. Snapped a lot of photos is what I did.

Parc Tenbosch is a small and unassuming park but walk in it and you will be wowed! I organized a…read morefriend's going away get together at this park (upon the suggestion of the said friend) and was so happy to have the chance to visit the park--it is extremely well tamed and cared for, no trash (outside of the trash bins) in site--a rare occurrence in Brussels, sadly! Unfortunately, we visited on a crappy (weather-wise) day, so didn't get to fully enjoy the park. There is a large area for kids to play in but leave the dog at home if you want to go in there as no dogs are allowed. My friend told me that when the weather is nice, they will put out beach chairs for people to enjoy and normally the park is quite crowded on these days! Looking forward to returning again when there is better weather!

This park is pure tranquility. My cousin and I found ourselves going from park to park in Brussels,…read moreand this one stood out the most. It's very cozy and tight nit, with beautiful trees, grass, and concrete (but not exactly sidewalk-like) walkways. Small wooden fences line many of the paths, and every now and then you'll come across a small field or areas made of dirt and pebbles to sit down while your dog or kids play. Additionally, there is a soccer court and playground hidden inside. The park is very clean, and has dog-waste baggies available to use. If you're in the area (or not), go here!

Je vindt er langgrekte lanen met plantanen, waaronder je bij hevige zonneschijn aangenaam kunt verpozen. Vlakbij spuit het water vanuit verschillende fonteintjes uit de grond. In dit park staan ook verschillende originele meubels die onder meer als zitbank dienstdoen. Ze zijn het resultaat van een designwedstrijd voor straatmeubilair voor jonge kunstenaars (Parckdesign). In de toekomst zullen nog dergelijke concours volgen om jonge artiesten de kans te geven hun creaties voor te stellen. Tussen het groen vind je de mooiste banken en het is een perfect spot om bij mooi weer je boterhammen op te smullen...

This park surprised me by how big it was once thru the gates and just like Parc Woluwe there are different areas for usage of different folks/ amenities. If you have kids, towards the back there is a sandpit for little kids to play in and would totally recommend this area.

This is such a gorgeous park! It's pretty big and holds a lot. There's three major museums: the Art…read moreand history museum, royal military museum, and autoworld car museum.

Parc du Cinquantenaire is one if the most beautiful parks I have ever seen in my entire life. The…read moregrass seemed greener here, the people seemed happier, and it was such a beautiful afternoon when we walked through it I truly don't think I could have had a better afternoon in this beautiful city. When got dropped off at the corner of the property and headed towards the large archway with the flag of the European Union blowing in the wind for some pictures. Parc du Cinquantenaire is home to multiple museums as well including Autoworld, Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History, and Art & History museum. This park is a special place. As someone who lives in a city like Las Vegas that doesn't really have a place like this to come to, it makes me extremely jealous. The people here seemed so happy to just be hanging out with friends and family with such beauty surrounding them it truly made me appreciate that just for a brief time, I was able to join them. If you find yourself reading this or come across this review when deciding if you should come to Parc du Cinquantenaire, just go and see the beauty for yourself.
