The 50th Anniversary Park is a large urban park, surrounded by buildings that celebrate the 50th anniversary of Belgian independence ordered by King Leopold II of Belgium. The Arc de Triomphe in the middle was built in 1905 and is made of iron, glass and stone, symbolizing the economic and industrial conditions of Belgium at the time. Nearly 30 hectares of park green space consists of small gardens, ponds and waterfalls, and many fairs, exhibitions and large celebrations were held in the early 20th century. Now, it should be a good place for public family gatherings, many parents with their children running, playing football, cycling on the grass.
