Green Point Park is easily one of Cape Town's most popular outdoor parks - which makes its 5-star grading no surprise.
Secure, awash with wide-open natural spaces and facilities for all ages the park is free to enter.
The recent TripAdvisor 5-star grading is in addition to 11 South African Landscaping Institute and Landscape Irrigation Association Awards of Excellence awarded to Green Point Park, according to the City of Cape Town.
The park is managed by the City's Strategic Assets Department and some 90 670 people visited it in the peak holiday period between mid-December 2021 and mid-January 2022.
The City also confirmed "construction on new landscaping features, including a dome" will begin in the coming months. The goal is for it to become "Cape Town's own iconic Central Park, to be enjoyed by people from all walks of life, be they nature-lovers, families, fitness fanatics or all three".
The facilities in the park are popular for school tours, family picnics, children’s birthday parties, outdoor exercise, intimate gatherings and team building activities.
