Parc Georges Henri

Parc Georges Henri is a recreational park in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert with diverse activity zones for different visitors. The space features playgrounds organized by age groups, a skatepark, basketball courts, soccer fields, and a central lawn area.

The site functioned as Etterbeek Cemetery from 1897 to 1966. After closure, Brussels authorities acquired the land and converted it into a park in 1985.

The site preserves features from its cemetery past, including pathways made from former tombstones and a monumental entrance gate with its metal grid and obelisks. These elements shape the landscape and tell the story of what the place once was.

The park is easy to navigate with clearly separated activity zones for different interests. Visitors can move freely between areas, making it simple to spend time with children of various ages.

The park incorporates the original cemetery pathways directly into its design, creating an unusual space. This integration demonstrates how the site's former purpose was creatively preserved during its transformation.
