Tenbosch Park, Tenbosch or Tenbos (French: Parc Tenbosch; Dutch; Flemish: Tenbosch Park, meaning "in the bush"), is a public park in the municipality of Ixelles in Brussels, Belgium. Although relatively small with an area of 2ha, 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 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.
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.
Tenbosch Park is open during the following hours:
