Tenbosch Park or Tenbos Park (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA"., meaning "in the bush"), is a public park in the municipality of Ixelles in Brussels, Belgium.[1][2] Although relatively small with an area of Script error: No such module "convert"., it is a landscaped park popular among local residents. It is surrounded by a wall and offers an unexpected oasis of calm in a busy district.
Tenbosch Park is within a short walking distance of the Avenue Louise/Louizalaan, the Ixelles Ponds, La Cambre Abbey, and the Bois de la Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos.[1] It is served by the bus stops Van Eyck (on lines 38 and 60) and Washington (on line 60).[2]
History
The area was 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.[2]
