After visiting another park in the area, the kids wanted to see another park closer to home but with more things to play on. So we opt to visit this exquisite park, all hidden away between several buildings. It is a lovely green space, where you could simply jog, walk your dog, play with your kids or simply have a picnic for two or more. The park has a variety of things to do for kids, from skateboarding, to climbing up on ropes, to swinging, to venturing up and down structures. It has a huge sandpit surrounding all the kids playing areas. It has lots of trees and green open spaces for kids and families to play ball games or to just sit and watch the kids play. It has a lake as well and green banks around the lake. It is a mere 5-minute walk away from the Meir and nearby tram and bus routes.

Nice park for the kids and for a short run, but it used to be cleaner and better maintained, although recently there has been more efforts to do so. At night it seems to be populated by asocial pigs, especially on weekends, and you do run into heaps of litter the next day. Many inconsiderate people in this country, and too much tolerance towards bad behaviour (there is a large police station on the south-east corner of the park). This is the only park in Antwerp center, so I hope the municipality keeps a good housekeeping to continue to make this park a welcoming environment for all citizens of Antwerp.

This is a beautiful spot for both parents and children, and pets are welcome too! The play area is filled with soft white sand, making it safe even for toddlers. Kids can enjoy jungle gyms, slides, and see-saws. Tall trees provide plenty of shade, and benches are thoughtfully placed right beneath them, creating a cozy and relaxing space for everyone. The tram station is just a short walk away, and the park is easily accessible by bicycle. At the heart of the park lies a serene lake, offering a cool breeze.perfect for relaxing during the summer heat.

Het Stadspark is een 14 ha groot park in het centrum van de Belgische stad Antwerpen. Het heeft de vorm van een driehoek waarvan de basis naar het zuiden en de top naar het noorden is gericht. Het park wordt omzoomd door de Quinten Matsijslei in het oosten, de Van Eycklei in het zuiden en de Rubenslei in het westen. Het Stadspark neemt de plaats in van de vroegere schans of lunet Herentals die een onderdeel vormde van de vesting Antwerpen. Opmerkelijk is de door architect Édouard Keilig tussen 1867 en 1869 gebouwde brug over de in het Stadspark gelegen vijver. Via de Plantin en Moretuslei bracht de Herentalse Vaart vers water van de Boven Schijn aan het terrein Ternesse in Wommelgem naar de parkvijver dat verder via een buis onder de Maria-Henriettalei en het Blauwetorenplein aan de Oude Vaartplaats in de Antwerpse ruien afwaterde. Een andere buis, de brouwersbuis, leidde water van de noordelijke arm van de parkvijver via de Maria-Theresialei, de Frankrijklei en de Italiëlei noordwaarts naar de houwer (aan de Rodepoort) en de brouwerskelder waaruit de brouwerijen aan de Brouwersvliet tot 1931 hun water bekwamen. Tegenwoordig is deze toevoer van Schijnwater afgesloten en is de vijver van het Stadspark een grondwatervijver. Tijdens en na de werken aan de Leien zakte door het wegpompen van water uit de nieuwe tunnels het grondwaterpeil, waardoor de vijver bijna helemaal droog kwam te staan. Ondertussen zijn pompen geïnstalleerd die het waterpeil weer kunstmatig hoog houden. Via de Maria-Theresialei, Louisa-Marialei en Maria-Henriettalei is het Stadspark westwaarts verbonden met de Frankrijklei, een onderdeel van De Leien.

Stadspark is one of those city parks that will leave a lasting impression on visitors. Its self-effacing design doesn't need to try hard to capture your attention. I fell in love with it on my frequent summer visits. The park has several historical monuments illustrating various events in Belgian history. Locals love it, especially on warm sunny days when office workers bring their lunches for a bite alfresco.

Beautiful park, it’s small but packed full of lovely greenery, trees and some monuments. The path winds around the plant-filled lake, up a white bridge and under it - guaranteeing a satisfying morning stroll / run. There are also plenty of ducks, a little too far to capture on camera.
