Eleanor Hattingh A quick little 6km around Emmerentia Botanical.Gardens, not bad for a municipal garden, lovely walking area for dogs and track for cyclists too. Construction at the moment makes it dusty. Some of the gardens need attention and water features don't work would be lovely if restored to it former glory.
Benedict Dube Such a great place to chill, there are several benches in different positions, allowing one to just relax and read a book. In my three visits, the park was pretty much quiet for a public place, which is very awesome. The lake side has ducks, which are great, they fly occasionally, so in case you've never seen a duck fly, you have the chance to be as surprised as I was.
Buhle Madondo Absolutely love the trees and freshly cut grass. I specifically enjoyed people playing with their dogs in the ponds. The book and plant store near the bathrooms is quite lovely. I had a great experience. I'd recommend it for picnics, walks, running, cycling, and meditation.
FJ Lotz It is a beautiful park to visit in the middle of the city. We find it very safe and clean. It is ideal for a picnic or a walk. There is also a separate section where you can take your dogs for a walk. Highly recommen it if you are looking to spend some time outdoors.
Dijon Harrington Beautiful and well-maintained with amazing roses and lovely shade under trees to have a picnic! We loved our experience here. However, there was an enormous amount of people here for a lovely Somali wedding and the attendees were so disrespectful and inconsiderate, throwing their empty plastic water bottles and waste all over the garden. It was SHOCKING. They just didn’t care. Such an amazing space and people just treat it like a garbage dump. I was SO disappointed. Other than that, this place is a BEAUTIFUL space to hang out and have a cute picnic with friends.
