De Waal Park should be renamed Dog Park. 😁 Wonderful space to walk dogs off lead. Most dogs visiting de Waal Park are socialized and well behaved. The fountain is used as a space for dog's to swim and cool off. The park is popular on weekends for picnics, and there's several spots under trees with large tables and benches to accommodate those who don't wish to sit on picnic blankets. Monday to Sunday you can grab a coffee from the coffee vendor in the park and sit and enjoy the sounds of the water flowing in the fountain, work, or watch the squirrels! There's also a play area for children with some swings, slides etc.

Ein toller Park inmitten der Stadt wo hund u Herrchen unbeschwert Zeit verbringen können. Alle tiefen entspannt und der schöne alte Zaun rings herum das kein vier beiner einfach auf die strasse laufen kann. Es gibt auch einen Spielplatz für Kinder

Best doggy park in town. Happy bouncing dogs, off lead, running, digging, playing. The fountain is also very popular for those 4 legged kids who swim. Beware where you walk, not everyone picks up after their furkids. Lots of benches and tables for humans too relax on, otherwise bring your picnic blanket but dont be surprised if your party gets paw-crashed.

Lovely park. Dogs love it. Cool fountain in the middle also

Nice place to relax and enjoy the nature, right within the city bowl. Lots of trees and long stretches of grass. I feel safe and secure visiting this park. Lovely place to take your dogs to enjoy as well.

My dog and I joined the function at this park. it is clean and doggy park. nice park to take your dog for a walk. some people have picnic there.

Best place ever to take our fur babies to 🙌 There are not many places where you can sit under the shady trees and your dogs can run free. Also a great venue to simply enjoy this beautiful park even if you don't have pets.

Always such a lovely experience! Friendly dogs running free Friendly people with children Nobody complains if you have a smoke because the park is so spacious Water fountain for dogs to jump in and play Plenty of benches and perfect birthday party kids location as there are picnic tables under beautiful wooden gazebos. No booking necessary. Clean and tidy and the kids are never bored or too hot. Trees everywhere for shade and view. We love it here!

I went here for a friend and it was the 1st time being here. Google map directions was a bit tricky for all to find it but we did eventually. It is a beautiful location for dogs, and people alike. Only issue which we encountered was dogs running up to our picnic table and we are not supposed to be touched by them as we are Muslim. Owners should have leaches on them or if they are trained, should call them away from us or anyone who doesn't have the affinity to dogs. There is a stage, concerts held here before CV, that can be used for events which is nice. All in all, good venue and will come with loved ones again

Best spot in the city bowl to take your four legged and two legged children to burn off some energy. Also great for picnics under the massive trees. Public toilets are currently being renovated so not available

Five stars don't do this park justice. It is serene. It is beautiful. The dogs are all socialising and chilling around their owners. The grass was lush and green and soft. The park is well maintained and a pleasure to be in. The whole family had a great day out and we enjoyed just spending amazing time with amazing friends in a world class venue. Take the time too go experience a hidden gem in Cape Town of you've never been there. You will not regret taking the time out to just take time out. Awesome.

Amazing park in the heart of the city. Dog friendly and very clean. Very neat playground to keep the human kids occupied. A good place to relax and take in the views.

Lovely Park to sit under the trees and have a picnic. Stunning views

If you stay in capetown, and want to spend a quite evening with very less noise and people around you, this is the spot. Come with a group of people, or your dogs, or just a lovely book, it will all make sense. Some time with yourself with just natural noise around you. Very decent garden it is. One of my favorite spots in town.

The park is a great place to get away from all the city life and get some fresh air and it is also great place to take a walk with your dog.

Much bigger than I thought. Clean, safe and doggy friendly. Great atmosphere.

De Waal Park is a public park and heritage site in the Oranjezicht suburb of Cape Town. The park, which contains over 120 species of trees, is popular with dog walkers. The park is roughly rectangular. Molteno Dam borders the park to the south, with the other three sides bordered by roads.

It's a eye catching greens garden... had a quality time with family. Love it..

Beautifully kept park with incredible views! Love how I can let my dog run free here. Also everyone you meet here are all dog people!

Beautiful dog park. Need a full time poop picker upper though!

Safe friendly place for dogs, playground for kids with the ability to utilise benches. Bathrooms are in working order but the associated items need to be catered for.

Nice for family picnics...our family had a few picnics at the park already loved that there is security patrollers they are very helpful...

Excellent place to take your dog for a walk/fun time. Or even just for you to enjoy a good cup of coffee and a nice walk through the trees. Animal photographers dream as the pups chase squirrels and just play in general

The famous dog park, amazing place to walk your dog or just chill and watch dogs. It's a very beautiful park for picnics and mini parties too.

Though the park is closed currently due to Covid, you should definitely visit come January. It is very spacious, dog friendly, and great for picnics on the grass. There are playground facilities for children and bathrooms available as well.

Beautiful spacious park for dogs and kids and adults to enjoy. Well maintained and doggie fountain to cool your pups. The playground keeps kids entertained. Many well placed benches to give you respite from sun. And no one can fault the stunning backdrop of Table Mountain.

As always a very nice outing with the dog 🐕. She absolutely loves running around! The fountain ⛲ was full this time around and Gina enjoyed a brief swim to cool down while drinking water 💧 at the same time and even though the park was a little quiet she still met some friends. It's thoroughly closed off and the dogs 🐕 are completely safe to run around off leash.

Such a beautiful park.🌻 I loved seeing all the dogs running around and playing together. 🍃

Safe and beautiful park. There is space for everyone, kids, dogs, picnics, outdoor workouts, meetings and so on. They even have a coffee shop Monday to Sunday. Love this place and it’s my dogs second home.

For lovely relaxing day out with the family, the De Waal Park is just the place. Pack your picnic basket🍱 and blanket , come enjoy your lunch or just an afternoon snacking on your delectables. Allow the 🌴☀️🌳 tranquil surroundings to stimulate and refresh ☘️🎁 your soul.

Perfect doggy park. Enough space and socialised dogs for any pooch to enjoy their time there. The community sponsors pooh bags and bins are cleaned out regularly.oat walkers also wear a mask. Table Mountain Park security also patrol to keep drug sellers away.

This park is great for kids, family and even dogs (minded that you pick up what they drop off😉) Kids love it, also great for family get togethers or picnics. Toilet available and lots of shade!

Always a treat to go for a quick walk through de Waal park and be invigorated by the hub of activity, from the dogs to many young families. It’s a space that is used so well in Cape Town. The rotunda houses a small coffee shop. Almond croissants are fantastic, they have a marzipan filling.

Our family throughly enjoyed our walk through De Waal Park, pleases be warned it's more of a Doggy Park where dogs run around free, fortunately they are well mannered and tamed, friendly enjoys being patted and rubbed, lovely seating areas scattered around for picnics, saw a Birthday party and Baby Shower picnics being held, such a cool place to have an function, friends and family to meet up for a Sunday Lunch picnic, during the week where the coffee stand is situated at the Round Band Stand they have occasionally live music on a Sunday afternoon, all in all, we had a lovely afternoon at De Waal Park

Great 'doggie' park, where loads of people come to let the dogs play and socialize, come for walks around the park, play area for kids, do yoga or read a book under the trees. Great little fountain for pups to drink water or splash around, also some summer concerts by local artists to enjoy most weekends or holidays.

Was doing a medical standby for a small event hosted within the park.. Great venue, well maintained, safe n secure parking and hygienically sound ablution facilities. Loads of fun equipment for kids and family to enjoy...

Went with my friends, the kids enjoyed the park, ground was wet because of raining, perfect for your furry friend's play date 🐕 woof woof

Lovely little park in the heart of Cape Town CBD. Just a nice place to go for a picnic, walk your dog or to meet friends over a cup of coffee. A bit of tranquility in the City.

Beautiful park with lots of space and lovely views. Very well manicured. Definitely one of the best pet friendly spaces just away from the city. More pics on Instagram handle@princessjasmin_the_doodle

Beautiful park, myself and family really enjoyed our picnic

Great park in the upper city bowl. Good security, toilets, playground for kids etc. If you are not a dog lover, then rather go to another park.

Beautiful Christmas Day picnic with 2 friends. Table under the trees....dappled sunlight, gentle breeze. All in all, a peaceful day. I would add, despite the fact that poo-bins are provided, there are thoughtless dog-owners who fail to remove their dog's eliminations from the grass. I wonder?.....would they leave it on their floor at home, were the dog to have an 'accident'?

Lots of dog poo

I didn't like the dogs everywhere

Wynberg park

A beautiful place for some sun or just relaxing on the grass

Neat little park for family and dogs alike.

Wonderful experience

Lovely green space to chill but must love dogs! It's an absolute dog heaven!

Lovely park with a gym

Awesome 👌 🆒️ 🙌 👌

The place is awesome except for the dog poo all over the place. Nobody cleans after the dogs despite that small kids uses that park every day.

Friendly , dog friendly lovely space.

Perfect place to relax in the shade with a book

Chilled environment with some super friendly dogs Plenty of benches for people to sit on

Great place for a picnic 🥪🥗. Lots of trees and grass.🌳🌼 Awesome little coffee vendor, incase you missed your morning cuppa and lots of play area for kids of all ages. This is a dog friendly park, so bear this in mind as you'll see lots of fur babies romping on the grass anf splashing in the fountain⛲🐩

What a nive place. I love it.

Good spot to walk the dog if its socialised

Cell ph stolen

Always go with my kids and dog to enjoy the scenery and serenity.....we enjoy it as a family

Good place for kids

Peaceful park with a great view

Great place to spend the day with the family, pets included.

Nice park to take ypur dogs and kids

So beautiful! A well taken care of park and an amazing place to take your little fur babies!

Lush lawns, loads of space, clean, safe, minimal homeless people, lots of shade. If only all the people would pick up their dog poo

Skollies/ squatters have put up a community in the park, they have tents and blankets - funny is it's during covid19 second lockdown & they are exposed

Nice place to be

Neat and clean, but I missed toilet paper in the ablution facilities.

They're all good

My favorite view ...

Its a good place to go with family and small kids or even a couple and its also a good plslace to have a picnic

Clean, well looked after, lots of space and trees
