Bois des Rêves

The Bois des Reves is a 70-hectare provincial leisure estate in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, in the province of Walloon Brabant. The estate offers a unique combination of nature and recreation: extensive forests, an open-air swimming pool (Spray Park), walking paths, a fishing pontoon, a fitness trail and several playgrounds. It is an ideal destination for a family day out, a stone's throw from the university town of Louvain-la-Neuve.

Accessibility at the Bois des Reves is partial. Some walking paths are suitable for wheelchair users, pushchairs and walkers, but the forest paths can be challenging. The sanitary facilities and the entrance to the Brasserie are designed for persons with reduced mobility. Car park P1 has 210 spaces including PMR spaces. The estate features a 500-metre fitness trail with 9 obstacles specially designed for persons with reduced mobility, and a wheelchair-accessible fishing pontoon. The Spray Park is accessible to persons with disabilities in every area.

The Bois des Reves is located at Allee du Bois des Reves 1 in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve and is easily reached via the E411. The estate is open year-round and admission is free (except for the swimming pool). A visit can be combined with a trip to Louvain-la-Neuve, a university town with a vibrant cultural life, or a visit to the nearby Musee L or Musee Herge.
