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.
