This park Could have remained a perfect beauty in the heart of Pretoria but it has been neglected over the years. No maintenance of the ponds whatsoever. The ponds smell very bad and the big birds dont swim anymore.However, It still has beautiful tree species that can provide shelter for picnics while watching rare bird flying around.Highly recommended if you like horticulture or bird watching Tranquil and private...
It is a lovely place if you want to take photos. Small little water ponds and beautiful trees. Dog walking seems very popular too. The parking is a bit of a challenge though
Very nice and well maintained park with lots of shade. Safe parking. Public toilets not very clean. Please take you own toilet paper!
Its beautiful and well taken care off. Also very safe although one should be cautious either way. Its a wonderful park to go have a picnic, photo shoot or baby shower for free.
Beautiful, clean park... Perfect for photoshoots and day out picnicking with the family
Pretorian are lucky to have such a gorgeous place, lush green, perfectly maintained with a lake and river and little waterfalls for the kids to play and plenty of grass for the dogs to run around. The park also houses native plants and offers scenic views of the city and the Union Building. Its a perfect place to enjoy a day out with kids and dogs on the grass next the river under the trees, there is nothing like it.
Very well looked after for a municipal park. Has lots of private pockets so it doesnt seem crowded. There is no cost to visit. Great picnic spot.
Beautiful park. A proper place for one to unwind
A quiet oasis in the middle of the city. Well kept and many shaded or sun filled areas. Choose your poison, lol. Well done City of Tshwane...we need more Well kept public parks..hopefully all parks will soon look and feel like this one!!!
Most beautiful park Ive seen yet in Tshwane
Place was so relaxing and safe since its in a secluded neighborhood
This is one of few parks I have visited and I must say is one of the best and peaceful, I will be visiting it more and more.
One of the few places, where u could still picnic fairly safe within a secured area , beautiful indigenous plants and trees, small waterfall, fish in ponds and bridges over a waterstream , child and dog friendly and nice place for photo sessions etcThink it will be absolutely beautiful in Summer.
Its a nice open park with a lot of great places to hold a picnic and a lot of places to take photos with great scenery
Serene ,safe park in the waterproof area..bloomed gate entrance with 24hr security.. great area for family relaxation and picnic
Perfect for a picnic, taking pictures or a play date for the kids. The park is always clean and secure. Plenty of friendly dogs around. Security is always present and helpful. Theres not a lot of parking inside but parking outside is relatively as safe.
A very beautiful and quiet place to refresh your mind. I loved it
Nice and peaceful. Were on a Sunday. Safe.
Very clean and safe environment. Great for picnics, must contact beforehand for venues and functions.
Was so nice to relax amongst the trees in the sun, we had a lovely picnic. Waterfalls, dams and cozy spots are all over the park, cannot believe that it is surrounded with houses...A little peace and quite from the city hussle and buzzle! Our doggies also enjoyed the park visit very much! Will definately visit the park again !
It was our first time ever, we didnt know what to expect, we avoid parks in Jhb like the plaque yet here, we felt calm, peaceful even free to walk around and explore. The park is very popular with family groups, couples, content creators and bigger picnic groups. My only hang up was clear evidence of residual litter and the toilets were dirty, I know its a public toilet in a public park BUT if it is guarded, which it was, and we are expected to pay a fee, then I expect cleaner toilets, at least. My boys would have no problem urinating against a tree BUT we dont allow that, so clean toilets are a must!!!
Really beautiful place, with nice scenery.Saw a few photoshoots in progress while there. Good place for picnics or family fun. Its only the bathrooms thats not in very good condition.
This is the best public park in Pretoria. It covers a large area, so many groups can sit far from each other. The gardens are well-tended, with large trees for lots of shade. This is a wonderful place to spend a relaxed afternoon.
Great for photoshoots wit ample space for kids to run around
Lovely and relaxing. Beautiful park with great places to have a picnic.
Such beautiful infrastructure put in place by the previous government, clean enough and beautiful even before the summer rains !
Its an qmazing advirement...its quite...no trouble and its so beautiful...its perfeckt to go picnic its really great
It was beautiful, I enjoyed it. Very nice place. It was calming and relaxing. Stunnin👍😘
Theres a lot of dogs there but other than that its a very picturesque, tranquil and beautiful space for photoshoots, walks and picnics!
A very nice park to refresh your mind
Great well maintained park in Groenkloof. That about sums it up
The park is clean and well kept. Beautiful green lawn in the middle of winter!
Lovely place to just sit and relax. The only downside is that a lot of dig onwers walk there dogs,but dont pick up their dogs poo
It was a cool n beautiful place for some fresh air
Always refreshing for a quiet walk and peace.
Nice, clean and safe park for family outdoor outing.
It was so relaxing not too mention refreshing. Just enjoying the beauty and cleanliness of the park. Breathtaking
Pretoria is littered with many public parks but this park stands out as one of the best. It is secluded, located in a suburb, it is well maintained and always has families and people around. A shout out to the city of Pretoria for their services here.Back to the review, the park is a beautiful particular after the rainy season, it has a Brooks, bonds, and shading trees that offer one a place to pass the time away and get reacquainted with their loved ones.As a mark of how good this park is, its a regular spot for wedding photography.
Took my lady here, its a wonderful place
View good, open pace, nice for pictures, picnic and relaxing- however pool/water/dam needs attention
Lovely park with well maintained SA trees and plants. With ponds with koi fish and Ducks.
Very spacious. Lots of friendly people having picnics and dogs running around. In my personal opinion I think they can cut the grass a bit shorter and take out the weeds covering the grass.All in all, a good place to enjoy nature
Good place for photos and spending time with the kids
Very neat and peaceful dog friendly, no bike riding and no braais though. But still awesome. The pond is beautiful 😍
Beautiful place for a picnic. Ladies restroom was not clean though and no toilet paper. Water kept running into the toilet. Waterfall was not working and dam water was full of algea. Lots of weeds in the flower beds, but still worth going.
Great park. Just hope people can clean their dogs mess
Good clean park and nice for fun walk and animal friendly
Jan Cilliers is a nice park for a walk accompanied by ones canine companion or just a picnic. Sadly people dont often pick up after their canine friends so beware before putting out your blanket for a picnic. Generally the park is well maintained and there is some security in the park so no vagrants in sight.
Its soo beatiful
Even with lots of people here, there was enough space to do what we wanted to do. Chilled park and pretty
Very Beautiful & well manicured compared to the other parks in Pretoria currently.Its still one of the best places to do photography as well as spend a picnic day with family while the dogs are getting a breather
Wonderful hidden park, good space to unwind , for family and friends
Lovely secluded and bueatful place
Great for photo shoots and picnics. Dog friendly. No toilet facilities though and quite crowded on the weekends
Beautiful park with a water feature. In one word serene.
Here youll find over 200 various plants species. Perfect place for picnics, celebrations and photoshoots.
The park is great, neat and well taken care of.
A great place to visit with the family.
Park needs a winteroverhaul, cut the dry leaves Tshwane.
Excellent selection of indigenous plants and trees. Good bird viewing. Ideal for a relaxing sitdown or leisurely stroll
Beautiful picnic area. Bring your dogs and famy. A great day out.
Great park not sure who enjoyed it more the dogs or the walkers!
Possibly best park for a picnic in Pretoria. Beautiful ponds connected with a small stream that results in kids adventure park heaven.
