Woluwe Park, a Sovereign's Dream

With its vast undulating lawns, clumps of trees and numerous rock gardens and ponds, Woluwe Park is now a popular public walking area for city dwellers in search of relaxation and rejuvenation.  With its many shades of green, who would have thought that Woluwe Park harbours botanical diversity from the most diverse horizons? Whether Japanese sophora, Louisiana bald cypress or Pacific cedar, come and discover a multitude of species from the other side of the world. This English landscape park will reveal its most exotic botanical secrets, the fruit of the voyages of Christopher Columbus and explorers around the globe, during a visit led by a historian who will retrace the eventful genesis of this great green space of almost 70 hectares, which has always been the envy of Parisians.
