Astrid Park, Public park in Anderlecht, Belgium
Astrid Park is a public green space in Anderlecht featuring a central lake and wooded sections. The park includes wide walking paths, open meadows, and distinct areas connected throughout the grounds.
The park opened in 1911 and was named after Belgian Queen Astrid in 1935. Its design reflects early 20th-century European landscape principles that shaped how it looks today.
The park serves as a neighborhood gathering place where locals spend time outdoors together. You'll notice families enjoying picnics, joggers using the paths, and children playing in open areas.
You can enter from several points around the perimeter of the grounds. Parking is available near Rue De Neerpede, making it easy to visit by car if needed.
The lake was originally dug for industrial purposes before the area became a public space. This transformation from industrial site to nature retreat shows how the city has changed over time.
