Jardin du Maelbeek, Public park in European Quarter, Brussels, Belgium.
The Jardin du Maelbeek features a miniature river that represents the original Maelbeek stream, which now flows through underground collectors beneath Brussels.
The park, established in 1951, emerged from local community resistance against overdevelopment plans that would have turned this space into European Union headquarters.
The garden serves as a meeting point for residents and professionals from nearby European institutions, reflecting the international character of the neighborhood.
Located at the intersection of Rue de la Loi and Chaussée d'Etterbeek, the park hosts a garden market every Thursday afternoon with local products.
The space transformed from a temporary parking lot into a green area after citizens successfully opposed construction projects in the European Quarter.
