About

A small dam ringed by a well-kept public park in Westdene, Johannesburg. Locals come for the outdoor gyms, two sports courts, a pair of children's play areas and shaded walking paths around the water. Dogs are welcome throughout the grounds, and a separate off-leash dog park sits beside the main trail for owners wanting their pets to run free. Local press has called it an award-winning park, and it reopened to the public after a period of renovation.

Note from SitnStay: Dogs and their walkers are welcome on the park's paths and grass; leashing and cleaning up after your dog is treated as common courtesy. A separate off-leash dog park area runs alongside the main trail.
