Étangs Noirs metro station

Étangs Noirs (French, pronounced [etɑ̃ nwaʁ]) or Zwarte Vijvers (Dutch, pronounced [ˈzʋɑrtə ˈvɛivərs]) is a Brussels Metro station on lines 1 and 5. It is located at the border between the municipalities of Koekelberg and Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, in the western part of Brussels, Belgium. The station's name translates into English as "Black Ponds".

The metro station opened on 8 May 1981 as part of the Sainte-Catherine/Sint-Katelijne–Beekkant extension of former east–west line 1 (further split in 1982 into former lines 1A and 1B). Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it now lies on the joint section of east–west lines 1 and 5.
