The Company's Garden

A historic public garden, The Company's Garden has seen several changes, much like the city of Cape Town itself, from the time of its original foundation. Originally established by the Dutch in 1652, they used it as a station to supply and stock provisions to ships sailing to the East. Maintained by the Dutch East India Company till 1795, when the garden fell into ruins as the company dissolved into bankruptcy. Following years saw further changes by the British and finally, it was taken over by the Municipality in 1892 and opened to the public six years later. Due to its historic nature, as well as the natural beauty, the gardens are a major cultural landmark as they house institutions like the Parliament Houses, Iziko Museum, Great Synagogue and Tuynhuys amongst others. A lovely place to spend a day visiting the sites, or just relaxing amongst the greenery. Kids will love the lovely pond and aviary and the local crafts along the main avenue.

Wynberg Park

The Wynberg Park is one of the many green spaces which the people of Cape Town visit to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. It was legally established in 1902 in honor of King Edward's coronation, and was even originally named after him. The park covers an area of 22 hectares (54 acres), and while sections are beautifully cultivated into rolling lawns, water canals and rose gardens, other parts retain the wild chaotic beauty that was created during a period of negligence. It is here that the Krakeelwater river springs forth into existence.
