Egmont Park, Protected heritage park in Pentagon district, Brussels, Belgium

Egmont Park is a neoclassical-style park in central Brussels featuring formal gardens and pathways across its expansive grounds. It was designed by Giovanni Niccolò Servandoni and combines open lawn areas with structured plantings and walking routes throughout the site.

The park began as the garden of Egmont Palace, built in the 16th century for Françoise of Luxembourg and her son Lamoral of Egmont. Leopold Philip of Arenberg bought the small and large courts of Egmont in 1738 and 1752, and from 1759 to 1762 Giovanni Niccolò Servandoni turned the grounds into a French garden. Tilman-François Suys redesigned them in 1830, Edmond Galoppin made them a landscape park in 1901, and the City of Brussels bought palace and park in 1918, opening the park to the public in 1920.

The park's name comes from Lamoraal van Egmont, for whom the palace was built in the 16th century. The Marguerite Yourcenar passage holds fourteen quotations from her novel L'Œuvre au noir carved into stone. Since 28 September 2016 a ginkgo biloba has been the Arbre de Frimousse, a tree meant to be touched or kissed by families facing serious illness.

Enter from Boulevard de Waterloo 31 via the Passage de Milan, between numbers 32 and 34 of Rue aux Laines (Passage Marguerite Yourcenar), or between 10 and 12 of Rue du Grand-Cerf. The 1.5-hectare park is fully enclosed by housing and separated from Egmont Palace by a grille; the palace side, with the Cour du Sanglier garden, stays behind that fence.

In the park's southwest corner stands the Groote Pollepel, a white stone octagonal reservoir with an eight-ribbed vault dating from the 15th century. It once stood in the Isabelle and Terarken district, was dismantled when that quarter was cleared for the North-South rail junction, and rebuilt here in 1956-1958. Walkers rarely realise it once helped supply Brussels with water.
