Annie Cordy Park, Urban park in Laeken, Brussels, Belgium.
Annie Cordy Park is a green space with pathways located at the intersection of Rue Leopold I and Parvis Notre-Dame in the Laeken district. The area features well-maintained grounds suitable for walking and sitting, accessible from multiple entry points along the surrounding streets.
The park opened on July 8, 2018, as a celebration of Belgian performer Annie Cordy's 90th birthday, who spent her childhood in Laeken. The opening marked a transformation of the neighborhood through this new public amenity.
A large mural by Brussels artist Pierre Coubeau displays the portrait of Annie Cordy, honoring her role in Belgian entertainment. The artwork serves as a focal point where visitors can learn about a performer who grew up in this neighborhood.
The park is near Bockstael metro station, with entrances accessible from Place Notre-Dame and surrounding streets. Visitors can easily reach the area and find open spaces for various activities.
The park stands on the grounds of the former Laeken railway station, turning an industrial site into public recreational space. This transformation brought new life to a location that had ceased operations.
