    Very beautiful place, clean and peaceful, so if anyone need to just chill and take a load off, this is the place to be.

    Great park with jungle gym for kids, keep an eye out for the monkeys!

  • 5/5 Dane S. 4 years ago on Google
    They’ve done a great job of cleaning up and securing the park. Much safer place to take the family now. Decent kids area, lots of space to run, ride bikes, and they’ve also added a small outdoor gym area

  • 5/5 Jumbe K. 4 years ago on Google
    We'll maintained park with lots of space

  • 2/5 Heather O. 3 years ago on Google
    Pleasant but misses any finesse... the grass is simply mowed and the garden sections are totally neglected

  • 4/5 JAGATH M. 3 years ago on Google
    I've been going to this park for 13 years since I moved to East london. First impression was great but sadly the municipality has let this slip a bit...grass is not cut regularly like it used too the general upkeep isnt as great as it used to be.

    Beautiful

  • 5/5 Nathan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to take the kids. All fenced and well maintained. My favorite out of all the parks in East London when I want to get the kids outdoors. Can't drive inside and park anymore but I think that makes it safer for the kids on their bikes but makes it a long walk to the playground itself

  • 5/5 Kerry de J. 3 years ago on Google
    The children had great fun playing in the park. It was neat and tidy. The grass was a little long

  • 3/5 Nicole W. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely, vibrant park with quite a few Pokestops. There's a well-maintained playground and a road running through the park where kids love to cycle and skate. It's a popular picnic spot.

    James Pearce Park is nice for a family outing, and is especially popular for event outdoor photographic shoots. It has wide open spaces for play, plus the tennis courts and dog training/obedience school by the same locale. The playground for smaller kids needs a bit of work. More social consciousness is needed as litter can be quite problematic, especially after events and generally lacklustre performance for refuse pickup and disposal by the local municipality. It has a rustic charm due to number of trees along the interior lanes, and makes for nice cycling. I generally offer this as an alternative to my son instead of the beach as primary outdoor activity, especially for the cycling. I perceive it has gotten safer over the years.

  • 2/5 Deevon H. 4 years ago on Google
    The grass is extremely long, zero maintenance at the moment. Such a shame.

  • 4/5 Tammy D. 4 years ago on Google

    The best park run this side of East London

  • 4/5 Frances De B. 4 years ago on Google
    big shopping place

  • 5/5 Maxine S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a fantastic route. You start on a field, move to tar, go into the seaside bush and a small track, back on tar along the beach front, on the beach, and past a river. Definitely a park run to try if you're nearby. The volunteers were also very friendly and helpful. If you're trying for a personal best in East London then this is the one for you. Note that you have to park on the street, but it's not too busy. Edit 2019 Still the best parkrun around East London! Worth the trip out of town.

  • 5/5 Nathan B. 5 years ago on Google

    Tranquil clean secure a really nice place for picnics and fresh air

  • 5/5 Andrique S. 4 years ago on Google
    Secure. Central and safe for children to play. No need to always be looking over your shoulder to see if you are still safe. Security is at the gate when you enter too.

  • 5/5 Laura D. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved the serenity of the park, the security check to access the park but no check as you exit and you asked yourself the reason for the check in the 1st place. The park needs regular maintenance

  • 5/5 Sheree W. 4 years ago on Google
    Stunning place to walk the dogs. Safe and secure now with the guards. And awesome equipment installed for kids and adults alike to enjoy

  • 4/5 Melvin C. 4 years ago on Google
    A great place to spend time with the kids in the park. It's a clean, safe and tranquil environment. There are now security guards stationed at the park to make sure it is peaceful and safe for everyone.

    Was great

  • 4/5 Eddie W. 6 years ago on Google
    Very nice run. If doing it in reverse, don't expect to do your PB as bottleneck going down the path towards the beach. Otherwise I enjoyed myself
