Today we visited Green Point Urban Park. What a fantastic place. Right in the middle of an overdeveloped city centre who would expect to find an area boasting all indigenous plants. Taking it a step further the park has posted informative signs all over the place. The walkways are wide making sure it never feels over crowded. Dogs are allowed in most areas, so long as you bring the poop scoop along.
After visiting the park we went to the Waterfront, I saw a sign apparently a quote from Jerry Seinfeld saying “There is no such thing as fun for the whole family.” Well after today I can firmly deny this.
My family consists of Mom, Dad, Son (aged 26), Son (aged 20) and Daughter (aged 9) – weird family and we all enjoyed the day.
If you live in Cape Town, you have to make this a place to visit.
WELL DONE City of Cape Town.
This is a really new garden which has achieved amazing results in a very short space of time. There are a large number of trees that have been planted that will totally change the face of this park over the next few years.
Yep, I'd really love to visit that place. Maybe one day...?
ReplyDeleteIt's on our list. Always very rushed when we come to the city, but we will, get there, one day!
ReplyDeleteWow - it's grown a lot since we visited it with MKid in March - it's looking good :-)
ReplyDeleteYou don't have an e-mail address on your blog. Care to share? :-)
ReplyDeleteFrom what I hear they have a lot more planned, so I will definitely be making another visit in the future.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Dani I have emailed you.
I love exploring urban green spaces such as this one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteRe Jerry Seinfields quote - ah what does he know :)
You have a favicon ;~(0) The colour is good! Lavender lady.
ReplyDeleteYes thanks to you Diana. I am looking for another photo to use, but haven't found anything suitable.
ReplyDeleteIn case anyone else is wondering what a favicon is, have a look at Elephants Eye.
Thank you for sharing this lovely park with us. I have not visited it yet, but have now added it to my own To Do List! My daughter lives in CT and is going to be getting a dog in the near future. I'll be sure to tell her about this too :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great place - will have to make it a stopover next time we're in CT...
