Parc Marial, Park in Basse-Wavre, Wavre, Belgium
Parc Marial is a park in the Basse-Wavre neighborhood of Wavre, Belgium. It consists of open grassy areas, clusters of trees, and paths that wind through the flat terrain, with benches placed along the way.
Parc Marial has been part of Wavre for over a century, growing alongside the town over the decades. More recently, a series of sick or dead trees were removed and new ones planted to keep the park safe and in good shape.
The Parc Marial sits along Avenue Notre Dame de Basse-Wavre, and the name of the street reflects the religious roots of this part of town. Today the park is used by joggers in the morning and families in the afternoon, each finding their own corner of the green space.
The park is free to enter and is easy to find along Avenue Notre Dame de Basse-Wavre. The terrain is flat throughout, making it comfortable to walk for people of all ages.
Among the trees removed during the last maintenance work were American red oaks, black locusts, and poplars, species originally from very different parts of the world. This mix shows that the park took in a variety of planting ideas over the years.
