Astrid Park 3.05

Parc Astrid or Astridpark is an urban public park in Anderlecht, Brussels, Belgium, inaugurated on August 13, 1911. It was named Parc du Meir/Meirpark until 1935, when the mayor of Anderlecht decided to change the name in memory of Astrid of Sweden, who died in a car crash that year. Since 1917, football club R.S.C. Anderlecht plays its home matches in the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, located within the park. Besides, that stadium is sometimes referred to as Parc Astrid.
