Not the best children's playground we have been to by far. The castle wasn't very imaginative in…read moreits construction, in how children could access it or how it would ignite children's imaginations. It smelled like urine in parts and there were cigarette butts all over the place. The sand was the best feature but some of the sand features were broken and there were no tools with which to scoop the sand with to use the features that weren't broken, which was a shame. I wouldn't make an effort to visit it again as there are better parks in Brussels. We quite liked Parc Bonnevie near Flanders. On the upside, the gardens near the children's play park were a great space for our little ones to run around and climb things, they were much more stimulated here. It is also about 10 mins walk from the Eurostar terminal and if you have an hour kill with your kids before your train leaves it's worth going there to expend some energy.

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.

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!

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!
