About

Westdene Dam is a public open space around a small lake between Sophiatown and Melville in Johannesburg, with a walking and jogging trail circling the water and a playground for children. An enclosed off-leash dog park sits alongside the main trail, and the shaded, grassy surrounds make it a popular local spot for a stroll with a dog. Outdoor gym equipment is also on site.
