03 March 2021
Residents need to familiarise themselves with the operating procedures of the Green Point Park under the applicable Covid-19 Alert Level 1 regulations.
Residents are reminded of the following measures that are in place when visiting the Green Point Park to comply with applicable Covid-19 protocols to manage access to the facility:
All gates to the park will be open for access.
Picnics are allowed.
Opening and closing times: sunrise to sunset.
Covid-19 protocols will remain in place, such as face masks to be worn at all times and social distancing of at least 1,5m. Visitors are to bring along hand sanitiser.
The tot-lot, experiential garden, trim park, dog off-leash and play and fitness equipment has reopened. A security guard will be posted at each of these areas to ensure that social distancing is adhered to.
‘The Green Point Park is a very popular space and attracts visitors from across Cape Town and for this reason, it is important to manage the access to this facility so that it complies with applicable regulations. We request that visitors adhere to all the Covid-19 protocols and social distancing measures that are in place to help reduce the spread of the virus.
‘The Green Point Park offers more than just a park. It offers an “ecology park”, integrating principles of sustainable development and “smart living” into the design, construction and operation of the park.
‘The park currently contains the Biodiversity Showcase Garden, an outdoor labyrinth, an adventure play park, a wetland garden and water systems, open lawn areas and shaded spaces and a ‘tea in the park’ coffee shop, that is now open.
‘The new Experiential Education Garden proposes to add another feature of interest in one of the areas on the outskirts of the park that is currently underutilised as a natural grass meadow space. It promises to be a place of discovery and learning and will function as an outdoor environmental education space for engaging and activating all five basic senses, and exposing children to this interactive outdoor experience. Learners will hopefully learn new skills and challenge themselves to take responsibility for the environment and their actions,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Opportunities and Asset Management, Alderman James Vos.
