I enjoyed visiting the park n Im sure my brethren n sisters will also attest to having had a great experience.It was a first for all of us n was absolutely superb.The staff r friendly n quite efficient, took absolute caution, kept a watchful n helpful eye on each of us during our AcroBranching experience.The Park is clean n tidy n big enough to host a variety of audiences. I loved to see that they had entertainment for kiddies as well, so next time wen I go with the family, our 1yr old is also catered for at the kiddies painting station.We got #Hooked and totally loved it!!!!!
Overall the experience was good. I just cant give them 5 star rating .
Amazing park anytime any day. Very chilled environment. The air is different there
Secure weekend walk. Dogs allowed. Teams clean up.Good views 🤠
It was pretty sweet... Fairly smallish, you do get a pretty good view of the city. Toilets were pretty clean, but there wasnt any water so couldnt flush normally. Had a nice little picnic though, felt safe and was a good time.
Lovely space for kids to enjoy...Park could be better maintained.Dog poo laying randomly.. Owners should take responsibility to clean up after their pets as well as themselves. Empty charcoal bags thrown around
Lovely open space for walking your dog and having a picnic. Close to Melrose Arch.
Beautiful park. Peaceful and amazing place to have a picnic.
Nice park but turned into a dog park later and the experience was unpleasant after that
Clean gardens and large areas to play and picnic. Alot of dogs
Very safe, theres security in every corner of the park. Great to take ur kids out and dog/s for a walk or even a fun family picnic
...Lovely being out & about & seeing all of the lovely doggies...!!!
Clean and well kept Park with lengthy walkways for strolling or jogging. Plenty of space for picnic or parking and pets on leashes as well. Recommended for Dawn to Dusk only.
Beautiful park. Lovely for our four-legged friends. We enjoyed our first visit. Looking forward to seeing it in the summer.
Very pleasant and big. Lots of space. Flatspace for kicking ball around as well. Pets welcome. A few swings for kids too
Huge beautiful park that is well maintained and safe for families and thier dogs. Dogs are allowed off leash and they love it! The dogs are happier and socialise well with other dogs.
Great park in the centre of sandton. Large area for dogs to run and pathway to walk.
Lovely park, it has plenty of space to walk.Its also a dog park so mind your step!
This place is huge and very popular with people with pets because you will find their poop and the smell of the same all around this park. I dont think people pick up and throw the same like at several other parks. Its good to play soccer or cricket and has a full fledged round circular ground overlooking the CBD. The ground has Benches to sit all around to watch the game. Good place for a one time visit unless you have a pet. Thanks
Its a great place to walk , bring a dog or kids.Unfortunatley this place has become a victim of its own success and is looking a bit worse for wear .
Lovely park and dog park with stunning views of the city skyline. No taps, no bathrooms either. The area would benefit from these improvements to make it more people friendly. A tuck shop, a public restroom, just something.
Really great place to walk the dog, get fresh air, jungle gym for the kids or have a picnic :)
Lovely big, massive with lots to see or do. And great for family and dogs
Well maintained and safe...responsible owners with their dogs. An every w.end must
Nice outdoor activity for kids. Had great time. Good for birthday parties and family picnics.
Beautiful large park with view of jhb skyline - go there for a walk in the shade among the trees or to go relax for a picnic. It’s nice to see security around and also the park being maintained. The little playground is so sweet for the kids too and very convenient!
Clean, pet friendly, great place for a family picnic!
Its a beautiful park. very calm and destressing :)
Super family spot. Pity the water in the public toilets is out... makes it hard for kids
Great park for dogs and kids.
Beautiful open safe park. In walking distance from birdhaven shops where you can gran a coffee and go for a walk.
Still one of the most tranquil places in Johannesburg to bring the dogs and the kids. Highly recommend for a relaxing afternoon with the family.
Open space, clean walking area, a great place to escape!
It is a nice place to walk but the inconsiderate dog owners need to pick up after their dogs. You have to look down as you walk to make sure you dont step on dog poo
Used to be a lovely Place, sadly there is now a squatter camp in the Reeds of the Bird Sanctuary.
Such a well maintained inner-city gem! Safe parking and various pedestrian entrances available. Stop by the nearby coffee shops (Voodoo Lily, etc.) after your walk/run.
Very nice park, its shame there are no toilet facilities.
Wow! What a lovely outdoor space in the middle of the hustle and bustle of city life. Its well-kept, and theres a nice circular walk.
James and Ethel Gray Park is a fabulous place to socialise your dogs. Ive visited it daily for over 10 years and have noted at most 3 or 4 disruptive incidents. Dog on lead tend to protect their owners, while off lead, the dogs socialise and have lots of fun. The park provides an invaluable service in this regard.
Had a good time, staff was really welcoming big up guys
Our local dog-walking park is equally used by toddlers on bikes or the pram brigade. Toddlers park in one corner and swings and slides further down, it also has a large flat area for those that want to chase a ball. Security takes care of the parking lot.
When you need some fresh air and calming place .this is a place for you
Great park, but lots of dog droppings
Beautiful park for morning or evening walks
One of the neatest and most well run city parks. Excellent!
Not too many chicken bones and dogs can safely run off their lead.
James and Ethel Gray Park looks stunning from a natural beauty perspective, its nestled in our busy city near Melrose Arch.The litter, #PlasticPackets #PlasticStraws #PlasticCups and #Glass needs to be cleaned and the area maintained. My Uncle said there was an Otter who lived here but it was no-where to be seen.Has anyone seen the Otter?We can all enjoy these environments when they are cleaner.#BeatPlasticPollution #UNEP#TreatAtTheSource @KleenUP_CREW
Very fun. Would recommend
Lovely kiddies play area right by security and the parking lot.
Living in the City of Gold, surrounded by malls, office parks and big homes, one forgets that Johannesburg was once in The Guinness Book of Records for its plantation of trees.This park is a great reminder of this great achievement. The park is big enough to wonder around or to just sit and look at the famous Jozi skyline.A word of caution though, many people come here to walk their dogs, so they may be some fecal matter around. But not everywhere and the park management does well to clean as much as they can.
Lovely clean park, would definitely bring the pups with next time🙌🏻
Yoohh that park is the coolest place to rest when its very hot I really wanna go back there the thing is I stay in Kempton Park it is far.
The grass was being cut - nevertheless the pathways were easily accessible. A beautiful panoramic view of the Joburg skyline while breathing in clean air in a peaceful setting
Great security, kids play area and clean and maintained.
Very neat and well maintained. There were alot of parents with kids which would suggest that its a safe place. The overall look and feel was very good, just a few days of rain and well have a green paradise.
Absolutely awesome experience
Nice place chill with friends
Great to be outdoors again .
Beautiful and quiet. Very nice place to take the family and have a nice picnic and a strole through the park. I was however expecting to be walking through a dog poop landmine according to some reviews, but it really wasnt that bad.
This park is truly an oasis in the middle of JHB.Tthe views of Johannesburg including Charlotte Maxeke hospital and the Hillbrow skyline are just beautiful. its a fantastic place to walk the dogs, have a picnic or play frisbee or football with friends. Its a daily visit for me. even better is its a stones throw from the best coffee in JHB - Bird Coffee
Up keep after Covid lock down has been really poor. Dog poo EVERYWHERE. Increased chances of spreading diseases to your dogs.
Beautiful, breezy, peaceful and very safe. Its a Good place to relax, take a walk, jog or even mediate
Great place to walk your dogs. Safe and clean
A large park with a plateau, predominantly used for dog walking. There is lower ground surrounded with trees. Further down is more open ground with an option to zip line and enjoy the view. Generally clean and well looked after. There is a small play park for children as well.
Really nice park.Animal friendly. Security on standby.
Great space to visit just been allowed to grow over and upkeep is not up to standard
Excellent and massive, considering other parks in Joburg. Very popular with young adults, with a great vibe on the weekends.Due to vandalism and recent squatters, restrooms are not available, and the park feels a bit unsafe in the less busy areas.
Need to put 2 more rubbish bins nearer to where cars park especially by the 4 benches as always full and overflowing with rubbish while others mainly empty
Too much of uncontrollable dogs , almost ate our food and chased us
Wonderful place to run and a nice kids play area. Please keep your dogs on leashes!
Awesome walk. Great company. Pet friendly. Great views.
Very fast but i have safety concerns
Quiet and clean. A lot of beautiful dogs to see
