Josaphat Park

Josaphat Park (French: Parc Josaphat; Dutch: Josaphatpark) is an urban public park of 20 ha (49 acres) in the municipality of Schaerbeek in Brussels, Belgium. The hilly English-style park was designed between 1901 and 1904 by the landscape architect Edmond Galoppin, as part of an urban project including the Teniers-Josaphat district.

The park's outstanding feature is its string of ponds, fed by the Josaphat stream. Many rare trees (remnants of a botanical garden) and animals thrive in this urban environment. The municipal stadium that was formerly used by the football club K.V.V. Crossing Elewijt lies in the park's north-western corner. There is also a primary school (Chazal School), a tennis club (R.T.C. Lambermont), the municipal greenhouses, a petting zoo, two playgrounds, a minigolf course, an archery range, three guinguettes (La Laiterie, La Buvette Saint-Sebastiaan, and La Guinguette Populeir), a bandstand, a food kiosk (Josaphine's), and many sculptures adorn the park.

This park is served by the tram stops Chazal, Héliotropes/Heliotropen and Louis Bertrand (on line 7), as well as the bus stops Chazal and Josaphat (on lines 64 and 65) and Azalées/Azalea, Crossing, Latinis and Louis Bertrand (on line 66).
