Lovely day when it's been sunny, but if it rains it can get a bit muddy. Lots of dog walkers here so taking your dog here won't be a problem. Also lots of activities for kids to do; Multiple playgrounds and exercising areas, a small skatepark, tennis courts and benches everywhere to admire the scenery or take a break from walking with your kids. It can get a bit crowded on weekends, and you can't use the fields on Saturdays and schooldays, as the local high school uses them for rugby and soccer. This place also had lots of great preservation sites that are helping the local species thrive. Also a great place to put a memorial for a loved one if you ask.

No laser tag parties allowed though! But there are big sports fields next door to run your kids & dogs. Great view of Table Mountain...

Loads of trees, some areas of indigenous planting, great big sports fields so plenty of place for kids and dogs to run. There are some streams, small and safe and great to splash in. There is a dedicated picnic area close to the kids playground, so a favourite for birthday parties, but you can pretty much picnic anywhere. Most of the people who walk here seem to be regulars who live in the surrounding areas so there is a high degree of courtesy and safety if you are a...
