Monceau-sur-Sambre park

The 67-hectare park features shaded walking paths, wooded areas, flowerbeds, a pond, and wetlands that support numerous species of birds and amphibians.

The park grounds contain a castle dating back to 1143, which was acquired by the City of Charleroi in 1977 and underwent preservation efforts starting in 1984.

In 2017, the park received its current name, Park Nelson Mandela, recognizing the South African leader's 67 years of dedication to freedom.

The park includes 28 educational panels about tree species, a Finnish track, fitness modules, and designated observation areas for wildlife viewing.

The space transformed from its original French garden design to an English landscape style, incorporating natural elements and winding pathways throughout the grounds.
