Boschenheuvel Arboretum

Tourist attraction β€’ Arboretum

πŸ‘ We all miss it driving the Kirstenbosch, but thus is a beautiful green lung with big old trees. Not manicured, but do receive maintenance and clean up. You can run, mountain bike or hike along the river. While I was there the Arums were in full flower - what a joy! People often mention walk,

    A hidden gem in the Newlands area. Beautiful natural pathways thorough the bush reveal a surprisingly large area to explore with young kids. Rough and ready, a change of pace from manicured Kirstenbosch.

    I am sad to hear that they want to develop the space for residential use… what a shame … an absolute beaut of place with very wide range of fauna … also great place to walk your dog

    Awesome place to find peace, walk the dog, reflect and meditate. It's a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle, and it's slap-bang in the middle of the lush suburbs. A beautiful babbling brook rushing through from the nearby mountain makes it even more enchanting.

    One of the most beautiful places with equally lovely and friendly people walking their dogs here. It is easily one of my dog’s favorite places in the world and I feel completely relaxed to walk my dog here by myself at all times of the day/evening.

    It's such a beautiful park to walk the dogs and has the most amazing flowers & plants. It's such a shame that it will be affected by buildings soon .

    Love this ever changing nature walk through the seasons. My dog also loves running and having dip in the river.

    A beautiful walking park with a sml rivulet. It needs to be cut back and opened up a little bit. The brush is very overwhelming....definately not for a solitary walk. Also heavily frequented by dogs...whose owners just shout.sorry.from afar after their dog jumps onto one of ur kids!! A quick affair and off to the next park.

    Beautiful park, fresh air and lots of squirrels. Great place for dog walking.

    Beautiful forested and grassy space that’s been left to grow wild but that’s all part of its charm. I love to come here to feel nature ease life’s stresses away.
