Bois de la Cambre - Ter Kamerenbos, Urban forest park in southern Brussels, Belgium

Bois de la Cambre - Ter Kamerenbos is a 122-hectare public park in southern Brussels, shaped by German architect Édouard Keilig from 1861 in the English landscape style. It forms a natural offshoot of the Sonian Forest and is divided into two slightly oval parts: the northern, more wooded section with 19th-century buildings, and the southern section with a 6-hectare artificial lake around Robinson Island, reached by an electric ferry.

The Bois de la Cambre was laid out from 1861 by German landscape architect Édouard Keilig on 107 hectares of the Sonian Forest, keeping two-thirds of the trees. The state granted it to the City of Brussels by royal decree on 21 April 1864, and it opened to the public in 1866. In 1863 the two neoclassical octroi pavilions of the Namur Gate, built by Auguste Payen in 1836, were moved to its entrance.

The name comes from La Cambre Abbey, just north of the park; the area was called Heeghde under the Ancien Régime and took its current name in 1840. Each 9 August at dawn, a young beech is cut here and carried in procession through Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Schaerbeek and Brussels for the Meyboom festival. A bronze plaque and an oak planted in 1965 mark the Pelouse des Anglais, where English soldiers played cricket on 17 June 1815.

Visitors can walk throughout the grounds, rent boats for the lake, or picnic in designated areas scattered across the park. Playgrounds for children are available, and pathways are well-marked to help navigate between different sections.

Since 1985, the park has hosted the 24 heures vélo du bois de la Cambre each spring, a relay cycling race for scout groups paired with a 5-hour mountain-bike event for younger riders. In 2008, more than 10,000 young people aged 8 to 25 from across Belgium took part, alongside concerts and games.
