Much safer than it was when I was a kid. Just wish the ADT would patrol the area. Definitely not somewhere to be after dark. Definitely not a place to let you kids wander alone. (Lived next to park for 13 years)
Kids enjoy the park but just worried about the homeless people bathing there sometimes but l enjoy taking my kids there
Beautiful park with huge treehouse that kids will love. Safe, secure and pet friendly.
Absolutely beautiful. The kids enjoyed the tree houses and the river.
Wonderful park, between the trees and canal. Big than most parks.
Perfect for family picnics or just relaxing
I am in awe of this little sanctuary. An open park but as you follow the path its grown over with trees creating the most gorgeous picnic areas. Tree houses and other fun obstacles and swings for kids to enjoy. Its really well maintained and a beautiful spot for kids parties or just spending family time together.
Lovely, often run through there
Very nice park to bring the kids and just relax
Great place to bring the kids and enjoy playing outdoors.
Lovely park, clean and well looked after, with awesome tree houses for the kids to explore
Exellent place for kids with a big treehouse that will definitely make them use theyre imagination.
Such a lovely park situated in the heart of Newlands/fernwood. Nicely shaded and a good variety of play.park equipment plus outdoor exercise equipment. This park is situated at Paradise motors, super convenient for the ice cream treat afterwards. There is a lovely tree house situated next to the river just below the park
Perfect place.. To absorb positivity.. And a fresh breath of nature.. I go here to escape.. Always a pleasant experience , little innocent kids and happy families seen around here on a weekend especially .. Perfect for photography and a little picnic for those who love the Mountain forestry View
Nice park with a variety of jungle gyms / tree houses. Can be better maintained. Not access controlled as it is a public park. No public restroom.
Awesome park for children and adults. My 4 year old grandchildren love to play in the treehouse. Peaceful and friendly environment.
We walked from our house in Claremont and bought a drink at Paradise Motors for the walk back!!
A hidden gem in Newlands. Quite a big park, perfect for a nice relaxing stroll, jog or cycle or even dog walk. Very beautiful,
Relaxing place and cool for kids

A beautiful place to take a walk or a morning jog, last time I went my head was absolutely blown away by the beauty of nature
Love this park. Pitty the council dont maintain it better
Super awesome park for kids, they have tree houses for the kids to play in as well...
Awesome hidden gem! Kids absolutely loved it
The place is so beautiful and peaceful.
Kids loved it here today. Clean and peaceful park
The most beautiful, peaceful park ever
Beautiful place with amazing water flowing sounds. Perfect place to relax or take a walk
Beautiful and peaceful setting. A lot of hard work has gone into this little piece of paradise
Safe peaceful lovely to have dogs free too. River flowing music of nature.
Great walk
Loved the little treehouses. Very clean with a stream dividing 2 sections. Great place to bring kids to play and explore. Even better place to picnic. When sitting there you totally forget that youre surrounded by roads.
A beautiful oasis in the bustling city. So calm and peaceful. A great place to walk your dog. A good place for kids to play, even teenagers love it.
This is a great place to do a nature walk in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. The equipment in the trees may not be the safest to allow small children on it.
So serene. Ideal for picnic
Beautiful scenery..Tranquil...Lovely play areas for kids..Spacious and variety of things to do for Lil ones
Beware of the glass everywhere.My 5 year old got his cut foot quite badly!! Wont be returning
So so beautiful 😍
This is a beautiful and well cared for park! The local community really looks after it and cleans up the river and the grass banks regularly. It is also busy undergoing a move to more indigenous plants, especially trees.It seems like the place is fairly safe and I see it is lit up at night too.Well done to the council and community on keeping this place innovative and clean!
Beautiful little park, great for kids
Awesome place and the kids loved it!
Very neat and well maintained park. Thank you to whoever looks after this beautiful spot.
You forget that youre in the middle of an urban area with bustling traffic around you as streams of water and thriving nature monopolize the soundscape. I found the area to be well protected with an ADT security guard at either entrance, and the playing areas were all in mint condition for the children to play on. If you live in the area like me, please dont wait 5 years before you benefit from this treasure.
Nice quiet and interesting place for kids to play. Only the toilet up at the garage is often out of order.
Not the best park out there lots of bees
No bins policy is not always respected. Such a beautiful hidden treasure that depends on its visitors to keep it clean.
Cool, great place to relax
Lovely, clean and secluded
Beautiful views
Great place for kids
What a cute little park, lots of trees! There is a play park for kids and a few customised trees. Not big enough for jogging but great for a stretch or relaxing on the benches
Its very lovely there
Beautiful park. Lovely rustic picnic tables. Novel play equipment. No litter and vagrants. Would highly recommend!
Best to get on to M3 sooner. Traffic lights do not stay on for long to turn into m3 and traffic only allows 3 cars turning right at a go. Expect 12mins at that traffic stop.
Great park as well as having a shell garage right next to it which means theres some food around atleast
Quaint and hidden.
What a wonderland. Plenty to do as a family. Numerous activities for children, with amazing scenery. Cant wait to go back!
Love this space especially great for kids. Clean and open.
Went with some friends on a sunday hike..paradise park was our half way stop..the place is awesome for kiddies princess or fairy parties.nice place
Set alongside a section of the lisbeeck river. Lovely natural park. Lovingly cared for by volunteers from the neighborhood. Play equipment made of wood and recycled material. Upper section behind caltex garage standard play equipment. As its along a river with steep embankments please make sure you dont go alone or in the dark / quiet times as dodgy characters sometimes sleep in this area.
Its really good for the family with kids when the people are not doing prohibited stuff (drinking smoking, etc.)
What an awesome place. Hope to visit it as often as my work schedule allows it. A definite must visit
Good place to be
Paradise Park is on The Liesbeek Trail part of Liesbeek River. Its popular with young and old and everyone in-between as well. The area is favoured by families with small children. It is also a great area for bird watching.
Very nice place to have a picnic and take the kids. Maybe just needs a little bit of maintenance but its great.
Its OK well maintained but next to a busy highway so not very quiet
Niche little corner to expand the kids imagination
Beautiful and Child friendly, but as with any Child friendly place, constant responsible Adult supervision is Mandatory!
I just love taking my kids here its for al ages my smaller kids can run and ply around and the teenagers can sit in the tree house and just chill.
What an amazing park for young children. Well done to those who take care of it!
Seemed safe and peaceful cool in the heat
Small community park in Newlands, needs proper maintenance.Perfect for small and intimate picnics.
Great place for adventurous children.
Lovely park. We loved the tree houses and quiet space for kids to run around.
This a good place for everyone nice and chilled with the flow of the river
