Groot Park, Public park in central Aalst, Belgium
The 15-hectare green space contains two fishing ponds, the Balloon Pond and Mirror Pond, connected by an extensive network of walking paths.
The park's creation between 1911 and 1916 was initiated by alderman Désiré De Wolf with assistance from landscape architect Louis Breydel.
Early 20th-century structures within the park include a milk house, card playing pavilion, garden house, and decorative bridge for community activities.
The park opens from sunrise to sunset and connects to the 25-hectare Osbroek nature reserve on its southern border.
The park functions as an arboretum, maintaining an inventory of 200 different tree species throughout its grounds.
