Scheutbos Park, Protected heritage park in Molenbeek, Belgium.

The six-hectare park features walking paths through meadows, fruit trees, and wetlands connected by wooden boardwalks across previously inaccessible areas.

The land transformed from a coal forest in the 8th century to agricultural fields, serving as a strategic position during the 1695 bombardment of Brussels.

The Nature House, established in a former farm building, hosts the municipal eco-council service and various environmental associations promoting local initiatives.

The park opens daily with seasonal hours, offering multiple entrances along Boulevard Louis Mettewie, Rue du Scheutbos, and Avenue Maurice Van Hemelrijk.

The Leybeek stream, previously underground, now flows openly through the park as part of an initiative to support local biodiversity.
