Parc Bivort, Public park in Jumet, Belgium
Parc Bivort is a seven-hectare park in Jumet with winding pathways through landscaped grounds. At its center sits a droplet-shaped water body surrounded by numerous plant species.
The park originated in 1870 when glassmaker Henri-Joseph Bivort established it during construction of his castle. The castle was later demolished in 2008, but the park survives.
The entrance gate displays wrought iron work with the initials of Henri-Joseph Bivort, connecting the space to this area's glassmaking past. This industrial heritage remains visible as you enter the grounds.
The park offers several walking paths with benches for resting, welcoming visitors throughout the year. The routes are easy to navigate and provide various rest spots across the grounds.
The park contains one of Belgium's three largest silver maple trees with an impressive trunk. Also growing here is a notable sugar maple specimen that catches visitors' attention.
