Te Boelaarpark

Te Boelaarpark, Public park in Borgerhout district, Antwerp, Belgium

Te Boelaarpark covers 16 hectares between the Gitschotellei and the Arthur Matthyslaan in Borgerhout, outside the Antwerp ring. Its open lawns and sports fields are crossed by a dense path network, and among the mature trees are cedars of Lebanon, horse chestnuts, American oaks, swamp oaks, beeches and a large magnolia.

The site dates back to 1385, when it held a homestead called 't Goet Te Boelaar. Noble families later used it as a country residence until 1912, when its private status changed.

The park holds a monument to Willem De Meyer by sculptor May Claerhout. In 2008, a proposal in the Borgerhout district council to remove it ahead of the park's redesign was withdrawn after protests. Its future is now with Antwerp's Beeld in de Stad commission.

The park lies between Gitschotellei and Arthur Matthyslaan in Borgerhout extra muros, with a dense path network used by walkers, joggers and cyclists. Some corners are harder to reach and the herb layer there is better developed. Food-truck festivals and other events are held periodically and temporarily put pressure on the lawns.

The Cogelspaviljoen is the only building left from the castle that once stood here; the ruin itself was demolished in 1979 and the ornamental fountain now occupies its spot. Repeatedly partly restored, the pavilion has been fully closed since about 2015 because of persistent vandalism and is used only to shelter from the rain.
