Maximilian Park

Maximilian Park, Public park in Northern Quarter, Brussels, Belgium

Maximilian Park is a public green space in northern Brussels with multiple sections featuring tree-lined pathways, seating areas, and children's playgrounds. The space extends near Gare du Nord station and offers different zones for walking and relaxing.

Maximilian Park was laid out in 1865 in honour of Maximilian of Mexico, then emperor and husband of Charlotte, Leopold I's only daughter. Part of the site had served the Brussels-Groendreef goods station between 1835 and 1954, and from 1953 to 1966 a heliport stood in the park.

The educational farm within the park lets visitors observe and interact with farm animals including chickens, sheep, goats, and rabbits. This area brings agricultural life into the urban setting for families and children to experience.

The park has entrances on Boulevard Roi Albert II, Quai Willebroek, Boulevard de l'Heliport, Rue Gaucheret, Chaussée d'Anvers and Rue Willem De Mol. The farm sits near the Yser metro stop. Gravel paths cross the open lawn, and a low stone wall and hedges bound the upper edge.

The park opened in 1865 and is named after Maximilian of Mexico, husband of Leopold I's daughter Charlotte. Between 1953 and 1966 a heliport stood on the grounds, and part of the site had earlier served the Brussels-Groendreef freight station from 1835 to 1954.
