Its a lovely place to have a relaxed or planned picnic or birthday lunch or a braai. Theres a lot of shade from trees or roofed stands and concrete table and benches. It is a spacious place. The kids have a lot to do as well from running around, playing on the jungle gym, flying a Kite, playing with a ball and or fishing. My family enjoys coming here. It feels safe and environment is clean.I think what would add to it is having food stands. Sometimes theres a guy selling ice cream. I guess it prevents litter problems if there are no food stands.

It was lovely except for later the day when some of the people got rude and disruptive due to being drunk out of their socks. That made it very uncomfortable and we left an hour earlier then we expected. Only sad part of the day.

A clean, well maintained park. We visited on a late Saturday afternoon and there were lots of families but it wasn’t too full at all. I enjoyed this because I generally don’t like crowded areas. We had a small picnic. I was impressed by how well kept the park is. The security guard is also vigilant about people who obviously bring in alcohol so that’s reassuring :) A nice place to relax. I’ll be going back there soon :)

If you want a good spot, come early. Very nice family friendly place. Just bring toilet paper with because the paper gets folded on the floor on a box and runs out. Also, towards the afternoon, there seem to be a few undesirables just walking around an standing between people sitting. Be sure to watch and hide valuable.
