From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joubert Park is a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is located in Region 8. The suburb shares its name with the largest park in the Central Business District, which is located across the street from the main train station for the city. Joubert Park is also the location of the Johannesburg Art Gallery. Sixty years ago my brothers and I played in Joubert Park. I remember there was a fish pond in the middle. Nearby was a band stand where a military band played Every Sunday. Pensioners were sitting on the benches enjoying the sun. There were also many pigeons that were fed by the visitors. The Victorian conservatory had large green ferns and also flowers. On the one side was an art museum that was planned in Britain. Consequently it was build facing away from the sun. They had to break down the one side to let the light in.
