It is a great place to visit when in P.E / Gqeberha.. The gigantic flag is very special and a lovely view of the harbour. The only reason for giving 4* instead of 5 is any visitors do need to be aware that this has become a dangerous part of the city. Only visit in the daytime and keep your wits about you. And Do NOT drive through the rest of Central towards Parliament street when you leave.., This has now become a gang owned territory. Rather go back to the main road towards the coast. Such a shame to see how Central has now become so blatantly run by criminals. Why the police/army don't clear the area is beyond me.

It is a nice space. It invites the natural environment to attract people and make the area pedestrian active. The space is a memorial which attracts tourist and has a view towards the harbour. There is little shade on this big site. Which can cause it to be inactive. Specific foliage was planted to attract butterflies, as well as having steel cut silhouettes representing South African history. The reserve makes one feel like they are in a park away from the city. Please be careful when you are in the area visiting the Donkin Reserve

Very picturesque and great views of the CBD area and the Harbour. On my most recent visit it was quiet and we didn't go down to the pathway/track as I was alone with my young daughter. The security guards were sitting in the kiosk, they should have been more visible. Nonetheless, we took some photos and I gave my daughter a quick history lesson :) There's even a vintage red mailbox which fascinated my daughter.

It's very beautiful with stunning views, however the starking red water tanks in the very background that's is supposed to showcase the pyramid and lighthouse are an eyesore and defeats the whole purpose behind the yellow photo frame...and it's not clean around the precinct. Besides that it's a must see with the history and activities expressed through the mosaics, true gem.

This was an interesting place to visit, we enjoyed seeing the memorial wall and the garden of remembrance. We also went up the light house which was an interesting experience. Going inside the lighthouse cost only R10. The grounds are unkempt though and there were a lot of unsavory characters loitering around, it helped that there was parking inside

Some parts need some TLC, but it was a wonderful experience going up the Lighthouse, despite it being a cloudy day, and the views were exceptional. The staff and security at the lighthouse are to be commended...friendly and helpful.. and we felt quite safe. Can definitely be recommended...
