Tournay-Solvay Park, Protected heritage site in Watermael-Boitsfort, Belgium.

The Tournay-Solvay Park features multiple garden areas with ponds, walking paths, and diverse natural landscapes across its extensive grounds.

The park originated in the early 20th century as part of the Solvay family estate, who made substantial contributions to industrial chemistry in Belgium.

The Regional Center for Initiation to Ecology operates from the former castle stables, offering environmental education programs to the community.

Visitors can reach the park via tram 8 at Boitsfort Gare station, bus 366, or trains S8 and S81, with free parking available across the street.

A replica of an Olmec head from San Lorenzo, Mexico stands at the entrance of the park, creating an unexpected connection between Belgian and Mesoamerican heritage.
