About the artwork

The green lung near Dumortierlaan was transformed into a rolling dune landscape by landscape architect Aldrik Heirman. The sandy park is criss-crossed by winding paths and cosy seating areas. It also includes the ‘Pleasure Garden’, a maze designed by artist Jan Vercruysse comprising a sleek design and various water features, providing a surprising breath of fresh air.
