Parc d'Avroy, Urban park in Avroy district, Liège, Belgium.
Parc d'Avroy is a public park in central Liège with a broad pale gravel path that curves under tall leafy trees, mown grass on either side, and low stone posts along the edges. The path forks among the trunks toward an open grassy area. At its centre stands a modern building, not the demolished Moorish Trink-Hall, and the park's pond survives from the former commercial basin.
The site was originally part of the Meuse River's main course until mid-19th century works redirected the river. This change to the riverbed made room for the public green space in the city center today.
The building at the park's centre is not the 1880 Moorish Trink-Hall, which was demolished; the present structure, unlike its predecessor in architecture and purpose, has housed the MADmusée of Creahm since 1992. Creahm, the association behind it, works to develop the artistic talents of people with mental disabilities.
The park has multiple access points along Boulevard d'Avroy with public transportation stops and parking areas nearby. You can reach it easily from different directions around the neighborhood.
The park holds an equestrian statue of Charlemagne alongside the National Resistance Monument and a memorial to Vietnamese boat people. These different monuments give the space a layered character shaped by different historical moments.
