Nachtegalen Park, Urban park in Antwerp, Belgium.

Nachtegalen Park is a green space in Antwerp with winding paths, mature trees, and several ponds scattered throughout. The grounds feature different sections with varied vegetation that create distinct areas for walking and resting.

The park is a complex of adjoining parks around castles, acquired by the city of Antwerp in 1910 and transferred from Wilrijk and Berchem in 1912. It hosted the archery events of the 1920 Summer Olympics. During World War II it served as headquarters for the 89th German Army Corps and later as command post of the 719th Infantry Division.

The name comes from the 'de Nachtegaal' inn on the Middelheimlaan corner, and the Beukenlaan was once called Nachtegalendreef, a meeting spot for couples. Jazz Middelheim, held behind Den Brandt castle, moved there when the sculpture park expanded. At the Beukenlaan entrance stands Walter Schott's fountain De Dansende Nimfen, bought from the 1910 Brussels world's fair and now a backdrop for wedding photos.

The 90-hectare complex is split into four adjoining sections: Den Brandt (21 ha) in the west, Middelheim (30 ha) in the south, Vogelenzang (40 ha) in the north and Hortiflora between Middelheim and Den Brandt. The Beukenlaan runs between the former sites of the inns 'de Nachtegaal' and 'Dikke Mee'. Vogelenzang has large lawns, a playground with a dairy and a small zoo.

The name Nachtegalen means nightingales in Dutch and refers to the songbirds that nest in the park's trees. These birds are especially active during warmer months and add to the soundscape you hear while walking.
