No facilities here, but beyond the arches is a large fountain, the Auto and Military Museums. The Park is regularly used throughout the summer for expos - worth to stop by is you're cycling around the city.

This park is named after the imposng monument built in 1880 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Belgium as an independent country. Cinquante means fifty in French.
On one side of the park you have the Museum of Art and History and on the other side the Museum of the Army and Military History.
The park is nice for walks...

Although just a small park, it's gorgeous in the Autumn when surrounded by leaves, and walking through the arch is always breathtaking.
