Josaphat Park, Protected heritage park in Schaerbeek, Belgium
Josaphat Park is a public green space in Schaerbeek featuring ponds, walking paths, municipal greenhouses, and various recreational areas across landscaped grounds. The site includes tennis courts, playgrounds, minigolf, an archery range, and three cafes for visitors.
Architect Edmond Galoppin designed this location from a former forest area, which King Leopold II inaugurated on June 6, 1904. This transformation of natural woodland into public grounds shaped its current structure.
The park displays sculptures by Belgian artists like Jules Lagae and Victor Rousseau scattered along its paths. These artworks shape how the place looks and invite discovery while walking through.
The park is easy to access and offers different activities for various visitors, from sports facilities to quiet walking paths. Wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are fairly large and invite exploration.
The Fontaine d'Amour is a spring in the park surrounded by a legend stating that couples who drink from it together will unite within one year. This old story still draws visitors today who want to taste its water.
