The area is adjacent to the Cape Town Stadium and has stunning views of both the stadium as well as Signal Hill. Lovely place to bring the kids to excercise or to have a picnic. It is also a learning experience for young and old. The garden is separated into ‘People and Plants’, ‘Wetlands’ and ‘Discovering Biodiversity’. The park hours are from 7 to 7 with visible security. « less

The Greenpoint park is a must see on a Cape Town visit. It is beautifully planned with fascinating and beautifully signed information on South Africa's biodiversity. It's clean, wonderfully laid out and has fabulous views of the mountain.

Unique setting, views and scenery. Safe and lots to do with children: great fun park for different age groups, outdoor gym, biodiversity promenade, shaded picnic areas, water fountains. Easy access, from Virgin Active Green Point or via Mouilles point counter alleys, lots of parking.

Ample space for the kids, beautiful surroundings and safe play area with place to sit and watch them in contentment. No litter and hawkers or beggers.

Amazingly laid out park in the heart of Cape Town. Great for walks, or a jog, or for a picnic with the family! There is also a wonderful and very original play park for kids.

The Greenpoint Park is a blue print for biodiversity displays and makes it practical and fun for all ages to understand conservation. It is a family destination and fitness fanatics can be seen walking for running through the park at any time. Despite the action the park remains a tranquil space.

An awesome place to take the kids to play on the educational/outdoor equipment, enjoy outdoor life, experience an affinity with nature, learn about flora and take in the beautiful views of Table Mountain and vicinity at no charge. Amazing view of The Cape Town Stadium too. Take a picnic and enjoy a fun family day out on the beautiful lawns.

Walked from the Waterfront, through the park, to Seapoint. Super nice walk. Loved the layout of the park. It was really quiet on a sunny afternoon. Highly recommended!
