Georges Henri Park

Georges Henri Park is a small urban park located in the municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert (Dutch: Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe), one of the nineteen municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region. It sits in the eastern part of the city, close to the Greater Ring (French: Grande Ceinture, Dutch: Grote Ring) — one of the main arteries of the Brussels premetro network. The park's coordinates are approximately 50.8454°N, 4.41998°E.

Where does the name come from?

The park takes its name from the Avenue Georges Henri (Dutch: Georges Henrilaan), a street that runs perpendicular to the Greater Ring at the southern end of the nearby premetro station of the same name. That avenue lent its name both to the station and to the adjoining park.

How to get there

The most useful reference point is the Georges Henri premetro station, which opened on 30 January 1975. It sits on the Boulevard Brand Whitlock/Brand Whitlocklaan section of the Greater Ring and is the second of four stations on this stretch of the premetro line. Diamant station lies to its north, while Montgomery metro station lies to its south. The station is served by tram lines 7 and 25 as well as bus lines 27, 28 and 80, making the area around the park easy to reach by public transport from various parts of Brussels.

What to know about the surrounding area

Woluwe-Saint-Lambert is a municipality known for its green, largely residential character and its proximity to other green spaces along the Woluwe river valley. Georges Henri Park, though modest in size, fits that character — a local pocket of greenery in a more densely built-up part of the municipality, right next to a transit hub that connects it to central Brussels and neighboring municipalities.
