Wellington Park

Wellington Park sits within the Settlers Park Nature Reserve in the Baakens River Valley, close to central Gqeberha. The reserve's shaded trails wind through indigenous fynbos and forest, with grass clearings for a slower walk. It's a long-standing favourite with local dog walkers, who use the various entrances to vary their route. Dogs are generally expected to stay on lead here, given the wildlife the reserve also protects, and there's little open ground for a full off-leash run.
