This is a place that has my interest due to its historical importance. Apart from being a park which was aimed at the residents of district six it has roots going back far further. In around 1781 The French garrison at the cape built a line of forts, to assist the Dutch East India Company to protect the city from the British. In the park you will notice a brick kiln and odd shaped walls which almost resemble a diamond, this is all that remains of the French Redoubt or Fort. From the Cape Town etc website: "Five years after it was built, the line fell into a poor state of repair. In 1795 after the British occupation, the earthworks which connected the redoubts and the forts were restored. They helped form a defence line with the British blockhouses on Devil’s Peak. In 1827, they stopped using the line, and the structures were demolished, All that’s left now is the French Redoubt, and in 1968 it was proclaimed a National Monument."

Nice place to relax and take a breather when cycling or walking Woodstock and surrounds. A few convenient benches, and trees for shade. Safe in the day with a mobile police office at the gate, but avoid at night.

It's a beautiful park that became dilapidated and vandalized it has historical significance as it was part of a line of defences build by the french in 1781 however it was founded as a park in 1905,the city of Cape has put forward plans to upgrade the park and restore it.

Felt quite insecure — it was crowded. The park gets 3 from me because it’s probably—hopefully less crowded during normal days.

The jungle gym was broken and dangerous for a kid. There were lots of thorns in the grass.

Needs more security but becoming very peaceful.

Very nice Park however there are few cases of robbery during quiet times please be vigilant and safe.

Very lovely experience and beautiful views

Nice park to spend time with family and friends. Enough space for kids to play and adults to relax.

Nice place to relax and take a breather when cycling or walking Woodstock and surrounds.

One of the oldest parks

Great for open space but busier with loitering

It's a short cut to my place and very convinient but not welcoming

Stunning scenic peaceful breakaway, just on the CBD's doorstep.

I went to this park once, but I wouldn't recommend going again unless you're okay with broken glass, trash, and other unpleasant things scattered around. It's a shame because I'm sure this used to be a great place to spend the day, but now it's run down and getting worse, just like many other parts of our country unfortunately.
