Thurn and Taxis Park, Urban park in Molenbeek, Belgium.
Thurn and Taxis Park is an urban green space built on a former railway depot, featuring a naturally shaped valley with walking paths and a mix of tree species. The terrain incorporates restored soil from the original site and includes areas for movement and rest throughout its expanse.
The site functioned as a railway depot and warehouse complex for several decades before being abandoned. Its conversion to a public park in 2014 marked the beginning of urban renewal in this industrial zone.
The space serves as a meeting place where the neighborhood's diverse communities gather for outdoor activities and social moments. The park's design acknowledges its industrial past while adapting to how residents use the land today.
The park is accessible by public transportation with multiple entry points for visitors. Come at your own pace any time of year, as the paths remain open and suitable for walking year-round.
The park was constructed using soil that was extracted and reworked from the original railway site rather than imported from elsewhere. This on-site reuse approach is uncommon and demonstrates resourceful land management.
