Maynardville Park — Attraction in Wynberg

Maynardville Park is a delightful, if somewhat underutilised park in the centre of an urban area.

It's much bigger than you would initially believe and there are many spots to sit and relax, whether you prefer the sun or shade.

As you would expect, there are places for kids to play and ponds with plenty of bird life throughout the park.

While it feels safe because of multiple security personnel, the park itself felt underutilised with only a few people enjoying the park on a weekend day.

Bathrooms are clean and generally neat though some water had spilt on the floor in one bathroom.

Parking around the park is limited, but you can park at the Wynberg Library and do a short walk to the gate.

The park also hosts the Maynardville Open Air Theatre which, it seems, has been doing Shakespeare for years and years.

What a treat.

Managed to do the Mexican Hat on the insistence of. My husband and I am glad to report my organs have all re-aligned. I will definitely support the...

Maynardville park is a a total disaster, went there as a senior group to enjoy a social get together and to enjoy nature and a spring day but was pretty much disappointed, the park is dirty around the tables which we had to cleanup first before we could sit down, and most importantly the toilets were locked and we couldn't use it, and as senior's ablution is important, I enquired about some management to discuss the issue at hand and were shown to a building, went there, knocked but no one came out and there was light inside and a vehicle was parked which was still warm, very disgusting that us senior's should be treated like that, it's totally appalling and we as taxpayers will definitely not go...
