Brussels Park

Brussels Park, also known as Warandepark or Parc de Bruxelles, is the oldest and most famous city park in the Belgian capital. It was laid out in 1776 in the French landscape style on the former hunting grounds of the Duchy of Brabant. Situated between the Royal Palace and the Federal Parliament, it forms a green lung at the very heart of the city. With its geometric avenues, fountains, statues and shady trees, it is a popular spot for a quiet stroll or a lunch break surrounded by greenery.

The main paths through Brussels Park are wide and paved, making them well suited for wheelchair users. The smaller side paths, however, can be uneven or have a semi-paved surface, which may be challenging in wet weather. The park features an inclusive playground accessible to children with and without disabilities, fitted with equipment that can be used from a wheelchair. Benches are placed throughout the park. Public restrooms within the park are limited and not always adapted for wheelchair users.

Brussels Park is conveniently reached via the metro stations Park (lines 1 and 5) and Arts-Loi (lines 2 and 6), both equipped with lifts. Accessible parking spaces are available along the surrounding streets. The park is an ideal starting point for a visit to the Royal Palace, the BELvue Museum or the Magritte Museum on the nearby Mont des Arts.
