Joubert Park is one of Johannesburg's oldest public parks, dating to the 1880s, and sits adjacent to the Johannesburg Art Gallery — one of Africa's finest art museums. The park itself is a vibrant, lived-in urban green space that reflects the energy and diversity of inner-city Joburg, popular with residents of the surrounding high-density neighbourhoods. It's a culturally significant and authentic slice of the city's urban life. Caveat: the area around Hillbrow requires situational awareness and is best visited during daylight hours.
