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.
Annie Cordy Park was inaugurated on 8 July 2018 in honour of the Laeken-born singer, revue leader and actress Annie Cordy, who was born not far from the park. On 22 April 2022 the Brussels Region's urban planning and heritage department issued the planning permit for the park's renovation.
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 adjoins the former Laeken railway station, whose building borders the green space. Its main entrance opens onto the Parvis Notre-Dame, beside the Church of Our Lady of Laeken. On 22 April 2022 the Brussels Region granted an urban planning permit for the park's renovation.
