Jacques Brel park, Protected heritage park in Forest, Belgium
The park spans 1.6 hectares of wooded land containing four interconnected water features and numerous mature trees along tree-lined paths.
The site originated as part of Kersbeekbosch mentioned in 1648, later transformed into a private estate with a château before becoming a public park in 1980.
A bronze sculpture by artist Klaus portrays singer Jacques Brel, accompanied by lyrics from his song 'Fils de' near the park entrance.
Visitors can reach the park via Uccle-Stalle railway station or STIB bus 74, with entrances located along Avenue Kersbeek.
The Josephine Oak, a 400-year-old pedunculate oak tree with a trunk diameter exceeding 650 centimeters, stands as the oldest tree in Brussels.
