Parc de la Boverie, Urban park in Liège, Belgium
Description
Parc de la Boverie is an urban park in Liège that extends along both banks of the Meuse River with wide open lawns, full-grown trees, and manicured flower gardens throughout. The grounds include different areas for walking and sitting, connected by paths that guide visitors through the various sections.
History
The park traces its origins to the 14th century and underwent major redesign in the early 1900s under G. Blonden, who focused on creating open grass spaces and tree plantations. This transformation established the layout and structure that the grounds maintain today.
Culture
The Musée de la Boverie, housed in a former Palace of Fine Arts, displays international art exhibitions and permanent collections that visitors encounter throughout their walk. The institution shapes the cultural character of the grounds and draws people interested in both contemporary and classical artistic works.
Practical
The grounds are accessible daily through multiple entrances, including access points along Boulevard d'Avroy and via the Kennedy bridge for visitors with different preferences. These access points make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to explore the area.
Did you know?
The grounds sit on an artificial island formed by the Meuse River and the Derivation Canal, giving it a distinctive geographic shape. This water boundary creates a sense of separation from the surrounding city while remaining easily accessible.
