Parc du Waux-Hall is a historic public park in Mons, the capital of Wallonia in Belgium. It is also known as Waux-Hall Park. Laid out in the 18th century, it is counted among the oldest public parks in the country, and it still serves the city as a place to walk, sit and spend an unhurried afternoon.
What to expect
The park is built around walking paths that wind between its gardens and open recreational areas. It suits a relaxed stroll rather than a set programme of sights, and it is a good place to pause between visits to the centre of Mons.
- Walking paths through the gardens
- Recreational areas for families and casual visitors
- A historic public space with a long past behind it
Getting there and planning
The park is at Avenue du Tir 2, 7000 Mons. If you want to check details before you go, you can call the contact line at +32 65 33 55 80.
Mons itself is a compact city with a rich heritage, so the park works well as part of a longer day. Many visitors combine a walk here with time in the historic streets and squares nearby.
Why visit
Visit Parc du Waux-Hall if you enjoy old public green spaces and want to see how Mons has kept a piece of its eighteenth-century character in daily use. It is a quiet, straightforward place to walk, rest and take in the city at a gentler pace.
