Facing the Egmont Palace, on Rue aux Laines, Egmont Park is home to several sculptures. Of all the statues within, the statues of Peter Pan and that of Price Charles-Joseph de Ligne are much adored. A slice of peace and quiet amid the bustle of the city, the park makes for a nice walk or a short picnic, no matter how old or young you are. Parc d'Egmont also incorporates interesting attractions that seem like they're right out of a fairy tale like an old Gothic well and an Orangerie, to name a few.

Spanning a sizable area in the valley of Woluwe, the emerald expanses of the Woluwe Park offer a wealth of natural beauty. The velveteen green spaces of the park have stood the test of time since they first arose at the behest of King Leopold II. During the Universal Exposition of 1897, the king wished to build a massive park that would draw the eye of the bourgeois, at the same time linking the Cinquantenaire and the domain of Tervuren with one another. The park evokes instant awe and wonder, with its quiet leafy alcoves, sparkling ponds, and nearly 300 billowing trees that feature across its broad expanse. It is also home to ducks, swans, gulls, and Egyptian geese, who are seen frolicking merrily along the park's tranquil ponds.
The Sonian Forest is a luxuriant expanse of wooded terrain that extends over a sprawling 4,421 hectares (10,920 acres) just beyond the city limits of Brussels. This forest of beech and oak once formed a part of the ancient Charcoal Forest, with roots that can be traced back to the Roman era. Over the centuries, large portions of the forest were cut down to provide lumber for construction. Most notably, Napoleon's impressive Boulogne Flotilla was built using oak harvested from the Sonian Forest at a cost of over 22,000 trees. To avoid any further losses, the forest is now a protected natural area. Beneath a leafy canopy alive with birdsong, the Sonian Forest hosts a number of popular attractions like Joachim Zinner's Beech Cathedral, the Bosmuseum Jan van Ruusbroec and Rouge-Cloître Abbey. Activities like hiking, fishing, horseback riding, wildlife watching and cycling can be enjoyed here.

If your kids are with you, don't miss the playgrounds that make this park a family favorite.
