Parks & Nature

Home of South Africa's first ParkRun, every Saturday morning. The start is a short walk down the hill, near the Environmental Centre. The Braamfontein Spruit is an extremely popular mountain biking trail and there are various coffee shops along the route. The top and middle dams are peaceful with plenty of benches to soak up the tranquility. In the middle of the park there are several bird hides, as part of the Florence Bloom Bird Sanctuary, looking on to the lower dams and vlei.
