Info

Tenbosch (or Tenbos, meaning in the bush) is a public park in Ixelles, Brussels. Formerly a privately owned dendrological garden called Semet after its owner. In 1982, the estate became the property of the Brussels-Capital Region, which entrusted the company R.Pechère + Partners with the task of transforming it into a public park. They were tasked with preserving the spirit of the Semet-Solvay garden while transforming the existing paths into urban walks. The park has been open to the public since 1986.
Although relatively small (2 hectares, or about 2.5 acres), it is an exquisitely landscaped park popular among local residents. It is surrounded by a wall and offers an unexpected oasis of calm in a busy district.
Tenbosch is within a short walking distance of Avenue Louise / Louizalaan, the Ixelles Ponds, the Abbey of La Cambre / Ter Kameren, and the Bois de la Cambre / Ter Kamerenbos.
Tenbosch Park is open during the following hours:
from 1 October to 31 March, from 8 am to 5.50 pm;
from 1 to 30 April, from 8 am to 6.50 pm;
from 1 May to 31 August, from 8 am to 8.50 pm;
from 1 to 30 September, from 8 am to 7.50 pm.
