[1][2] Although relatively small with an area of 2 ha (4.9 acres), 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.

[1] 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.
