Te Boelaarpark, Public park in Borgerhout district, Antwerp, Belgium
Te Boelaarpark is a 16-hectare green space with sports lawns, open grasslands, and extensive walking paths throughout. The landscape is shaped by mature trees including cedar of Lebanon and American oak specimens.
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 Willem De Meyer monument by sculptor May Claerhout stands within the park and reflects how local residents valued preserving this memorial through periods of change.
The park remains open year-round and connects well to local public transport. You can walk, jog, cycle, or relax throughout the space without barriers.
The Cogelspaviljoen survives as the last structure from the original castle on this site. It now functions simply as a rain shelter, offering a glimpse of the estate's past.
