Ratanga Park is a lovely place for a picnic and is perfect for the kids. There is a tram that takes you around Canal Walk, which is a fun little experience, taking you back to the days when trams were popular. It is exceptionally aesthetic and clean. The park is also used for concerts and other activities. It has an art tour as well. Check it out!
Lovely gem of a place. Safe, with security walking around. Perfect picnic place with ample spots for families with young children as there are a few play spots with swings, jungle gym etc. Free entry and close to many cafes, restaurants, etc at the back of the business area of canal walk. Absolutely loved the little tram "train" ride owned and run by the train maker of Winelands Light Rail (also a gem of a place in Stellenbosch). Definitely worth a day out again and again.
Beautiful new addition to the Cape Town park scene. It exists where the former amusement park (Ratanga Junction) was housed. Beautifully reclaimed land.
The park consists of clean walkways, water body, some beautiful fauna and flora. A lot of beautiful grass, some swings and cameras ensure that the whole experience is safe.
Note, there is still a lot of construction nearby therefore you might run into some dust and noise.
My pictures don't do justice to the man made creations. From a mini waterfall to walkways, jungle gyms, bridges to cross, rocks to climb and sooooooo much more. This is a perfect spot to have a picnic with friends and family. It's clean and neat. We had a ride on the tram too
Cute little park. I have to say I thought it would be as big as Ratanga Junction was. It is a lot smaller, but it is definitely still a hidden gem. (On the topic of hidden we struggled to find the entrance the park is sort of situated behind the bridge water building. Entrance one is very close to the hills song church and entrance 2 you drive around the bridge water building.)
The play area accommodates different ages, and there are many different little walkways to explore with your little ones. Be sure to pack a picnic as there are plenty of shady spots and beautiful views of the ponds.
The park is also dog friendly to feel free to take your furry friend along. There are even stations set up with poop bags, so you can pick up when fluffy does his thing.
(As a side note. The only thing we could not find was a loo)
Lovely place just no ablution facilities at the moment. Awesome place for kids to walk play and climb.
A Hidden gem.
CCTV’s, Clean, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful.
Kids can bring their bikes and scooters for a nice ride along the pathway. Some gorgeous spots for pictures. A park/play area for kids. Gorgeous waterfalls. There were a few people having a picnic too.
I will definitely be back.
Pefect place for the kids to ride bikes and play. They really enjoyed exploring all the features in the park, and the playgrounds are lovely. Great place to visit with small kids, and it's FREE!
