Park Sauvagère, Protected heritage site in Uccle, Belgium.
Park Sauvagère is a protected heritage site in Uccle that spans about 4.5 hectares and features a mixed forest. The grounds contain beech, sycamore maple, ash, oak, hazelnut, and distinctive chestnut trees throughout its landscaped grounds.
The grounds expanded during 1910 and 1925 as the land underwent development. A castle that once stood on the property fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1957.
This green space serves as a meeting place where local families gather to enjoy nature together. The open areas and play zones are woven into the daily rhythm of the neighborhood.
The site offers walking paths to explore the woodland, a playground for children, and animal enclosures to visit. Plan to spend time wandering through the grounds, as the size allows for several hours of exploration.
An unusually large giant sequoia on the grounds has a circumference of about 4.89 meters, making it one of the largest specimens recorded in the area. This tree species is rarely seen in European parks and draws the attention of many visitors.
