    A veritable green lung in the heart of the municipality of Schaerbeek, the park is part of a vast urban planning project at the end of the 19th century. The galloping urbanization that the town was experiencing at the time represented a real threat to the rural valley of Josaphat, the owners of the estates that made it up being tempted to convert their plots into building land. Not without difficulty, the municipality gradually acquired these lands to convert them into a public promenade inaugurated in 1904.

    Subsequently, Josaphat Park will be gradually enlarged and landscaped by landscape architect Edmond Galoppin, works inspector for the municipality of Schaerbeek. The park is divided into three main parts: the historic English-style park which revolves around three ponds, the large lawns and the playground area with various sports facilities.
