Maximilian Park, Public park in Northern Quarter, Brussels, Belgium
Description
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.
History
The site opened as a park in 1980 after operating as a freight railway station for more than a century. This transformation from rail infrastructure to green space marked a major shift in northern Brussels development.
Culture
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.
Practical
The park is easily reached by public transport with bus lines and a metro station nearby for convenient access. The terrain is flat and well-maintained, making it accessible for various types of visitors.

A section of the Senne River buried beneath the park is being uncovered to restore it to its natural state. This project will reshape the landscape and introduce visible water features that visitors can experience.
