This was our first visit to Bokkie Park. We where definitely impressed. There are bunnies, ducks, grease, and chickens all wondering around. U can feed the animals and jus picnic around them. There are also horses goats and loads more to see. If u are in the area it is definitely worth the visit.

Impressed with the state of the animals and upkeep of the park. Some animals don't even want to eat what you bring because they're well fed. Hay all over and truck with veg and greens. Only worry is the leaning water pipes next to the dam, iy needs to be addressed. Family favorite spot for picnics

A very beautiful public park farm. You will find goats, sheep's, ducks and all kinds of farm animals roaming freely in this public park. Great spot to take the kids out on a sunny day.

Had a lovely morning walk around the park. Loved all the various animals and birds. Went again recently, the park is great, loving it Visited again today, I think it was family day because they were everywhere. Thing is they were all so friendly & it was a fantastic vibe. Met the most beautiful family. It was a good day.

I've been going there since I was a little girl. A few years ago te Bokkie park was at it's lowest. It's nice to see that the place is taken care of again, tat the animals are taken care of. Animals come easily to people and invite themselves for something to eat, kids loved it.

This Boksburg gem of a farm is really sad to experience at this state of poor maintenance. However it is still a great space to take a walk and also let the kids run around freely after the lockdowns. Feed and engage with the remaining animals. This place is a sanctuary in Boksburg and the market happens every first Saturday of the month. Lovely environment to get some fresh air indeed. The rabbits and the peacocks are beautiful.

It is nice place for day outing with family and friends.

What a awesome little park. Great venue with lots of slides for the kids to play on. Pond, trees, train and so much more to look at. Love the houses and rabbits. You can buy food for the animals and this is definitely a place to bring the kids if you looking for something to do with them. Worth a visit

Used to go to this place all the time. Such a shame its in such poor conditions. Last time i visited was in 2019 and i truely wouldn't go back especially now. You used to be able to eat on the train and explore it. Now its just a major hazard. We would buy carrots to feed animals. And often visited the Craft Market as a child on Saturday. The dams are filthy and you hardly see the animals there used to be. I hope they can work on this or it will close like the other Bokkie parks.

Great place for kids and picnic for whole family. Free entry Animals in good condition and taken care off.

A very big park with a dam good for picnics. We had a great time horse riding and playing with the kids.

Great ace to hang out and enjoy animals. Its a peaceful park

Iconic Park in Boksburg. We went there as children and now my own little girl enjoys riding a pony and feeding the rabbits. The Park and the animals are not in a bad state. Thank you to whoever is maintaining it. There are very few places left in this condition that have no entrance fee.

Love hanging out here. The animals just have a way of bringing tranquility to one's being. The park is generally well maintained and kept clean, but there are some thatch roofs that need attention. Another problem is the dirty water. Parks department should invest in a filtration system.

Great fun to take my girl and Wife for som Family time. Riding the pony, feeding the rabbits, climbing and sliding on the aparatus, great music by an entertainer, alot of stals where people try selling goods and services. Great Organizing. Flea Market every month

Great place to unwind. Feed the animals and let the kids have fun.

So disappointed in the state of the park itself. There is litter everywhere. In the dam, in the trees. Around the the kids play area. This was not new litter, as we were there early in the morning. The Bokkie park has these great big trees but all the benches are in the sun. Half the park is unaccusable due to water damming up. I suggest park management rethink the products sold in the little shop. Going eco friendly would represent well.

We had a wonderful time. Animals well looked after. Craft market is wonderfull. See you guys soon

Awesome place🦢🦢🦢🐎🐎🦟🐇🐇🦚🦚🐐🐐🐐🐂🐂🐂🔥🔥🔥🤩🤩

It's a great place to go for a picnic with your friends or family the environment is kid friendly and there's lots of fun things to do like ride horses and stuff. There's ducks, rabbits, peacocks, horses and even chickens and it's all free. They also sell food and ice cream there

Very nice family friendly place to take the kids , bit run down , but a very enjoyable area for small kids to feed the animals

Was a great day out and lots of animals to see. Sad however that the grounds is not too well maintained as well as an injured peacock with a limp who seems to be a little neglected. Entrance however is free, but personally I would not mind paying a few rand to enter if the money went to upkeep for the grounds and animals. All said, a good place to visit and fun to feed the various animals roaming around... PS Beware of the geese... They are mean 😅

A pleasant outing for youngsters and with market day something for everyone

Its OK but gotten worse Just think about that place Bokkie Park has a lot of potential With 50 grand that place would be a perfect running place in 2 years Just allow a entrance fee Build a nice running kitchen in the train and serve people outside And get some exotic animals back Always go big

Still decent and people keep it clean, good to see animals are being catered and well looked after from what I last saw. Markets they host run really well. There's good people selling at the vendors

First time Ive been there but the place is incredibly run down, some of the bigger animals look ill. My husband told me about how it used to look and impressive the park was. I wont go back there.

Took my grandson to ride his bike and feed the animals... And he loved it. The place needs a bit of maintenance but despite that, there were lots of families enjoying a sunny winters day. He quickly found friends to play and run around with. Much cheaper than going to a mall! And good exercise for me too.

I love the Bokkie park, I have so many fond memories coming through and feeding the animals and just chilling next to the pond. BUT, it has such potential to be something much better. There is so much open space that could be utilized to put more animals in, and some of the structures around the place are falling apart and are in dire need of repair. The place has such potential, there just needs to be someone to fulfil that potential.

The kids had fun. Im sure due to Covid they faced alit of challenges but today was amazing

Beautiful beautiful place to take your kiddies to for a fun filled family day, just arrive early if you want to use the braai stand facility

Dirty!! Unsafe structures!! Surage in the dam and dead fish all over and it stinks so bad we had to leave . Unsafe and unpleasant for kids and grownups.

It was clean and relaxing, and we enjoyed seeing the ducks and goats and sheep.

Great place to bring friends and family. Free entry you can feed the animals. Really relaxing.

It was much improved since my last visit (several months ago). A couple of park keepers were patrolling around and actually getting people to comply with the sign-posted rules, such as not chasing and catching animals and playing loud music. I also saw a team of 5 men cleaning out the goat enclosure, and guys driving around and dropping off food for the animals. It was also much cleaner and generally seemed better cared for. My grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed their visit.

Great view and spacious with a braai area too. You also have equipment for the kids to play with. I truly enjoyed myself

This place is free and you can go there anytime Sometimes the animals look neglected but I have personally seen them being fed tons and tons of food. Also visitors also bring food for the animals. Bread though isn't healthy for ducks. And the kids chase the bunnies which is a little unkind and no one reprimands them Staff are well blasé about the rules they only enforce no music or alcohol You can also braai here. No dogs allowed

Family friendly, loved the outdoor activities especially feeding the animals.

Great to get away and be in nature. First Saturday of every month there is a market with loads of goodies and food and music. It's a great place for the kids to be free and adults to unwind.

Must say the place looks much better than last year Congratulations Town Council We appreciate your work Maybe just add more Toilets

Ducks won't let us enjoy the park in peace. They come and scare the children and follow them around all the time.

Was unfortunately closed when we went last week due to Covid. The place looks well kept and animals will taken care of. One is Still able to feed the animals through the fence. Looking forward to visit one open

The horses arent around and the rides are closed but still an amazing place to spend the day with the kids

We went to the craft market. Nice music and stalls

Awesome Family place where you can relaxand enjoy the nature

Great place for the kids to enjoy but not much for adults

It's a nice and good park the kids. They totally enjoyed thier experience.

Seems dishevelled and run down

Nice visit but a bit over crowdeded and there was a lot of rubbish in the water

Very nice park for the entire family with lots of things to do for the kids. Just a pity the general public throw their litter around spoiling the awesome nature scenery

Nice place for family

A great place to be, with plenty animals to see and plenty of space for kids to play. Been going to the park since I was a tiny tot myself and always a pleasure to revisit the park and feed the animals, swing and have a picnic and braai. The toilets are a tad dark and I'm not a fan of their toilet paper but other than that, a fun day out

(Translated by Google) The place is falling apart. The water is so dirty. I will not go back again. (Original) Die plek val uit mekaar uit. Die water is so vuil. Ek sal nie weer terug gaan nie.

Lovely scenery, friendly animals, clean and free!

Very nice for a family day out.

Very clean and all animals are now well looked after. Best Sunday outing ever

Fleamarket, picnic, animal's, veriety of eats to buy.

Lovely day out. Enjoyed it very much. We love going to the Bokkie Park

Boksburgs best family outting spot and it costs near nothing.

Clean park for a family outing. Lots of animals to feed.

Babies everywhere!!!!

A good place to relax with the kids and have a braai

Fun for kids

Blessed

Great place to go to with the kids

Atmosphere and the people working there, amazing and friendly

Had a great day.

Awesome for kid's and love the farm animals and birds

A relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Take plenty of bread and veggies, and enjoy getting close up to all the animals for a personal feed. SO rewarding! Note: As at Aug 2020, park closed due to COVID, expected to re-open soon, possibly from Spring/Sep 2020. Animals can be fed from the perimeter gates, they all gather instantly at the sight of people/food.

The park is closed due to Covid unfortunately. Could still feed goats and ducks through the fence. Animals are well fed and the area is kept clean. Lots of people stopping to feed the animals.

Beautiful park with some activities to do and a good place to spend family time

Great place to be with kids, or with family as a whole. We've enjoyed seeing and feeding animals

Great place to take kids . Very safe. Let them wander and explore.

Awesome

Needs more gazebos and benches

Enjoyed it so much

Very relaxing. Needs some care. The ostrich with the one eye is he ok. Otherwise I had a lovely day. Just that some brats/ children need to be taught about cruelty to animals.

Best place to chill with family

Not well maintained

Best place to be with kids. Love it, tranquil.

Beautiful place for the family

Such an awesome place to take the kiddies. Pack a picnic basket and enjoy! Lots of parking space. Big area.

Needs a serious clean-up and new management, at least the animals look well fed.

Free and so much fun for the little ones!!

We love going here, just wish they kept it a bit cleaner

Great place for kids

Fun with the family

Nice day visit

Awesome place for family outing. Enjoyed it alot.

Enjoyed

Relaxing atmosphere but not very clean.

Very dirty, not looked after well anymore

Nice park to hung out to

The xmas market was really nice.

Place needs to cleaned

The best and I can't belive it's free. Lots of animals to see. Well kept and neat. Lovely family outing. Had my family birthday picnic and I couldn't have picked a better spot. My 2.5year old daughter loves it, especially the ducks roaming all around. Can't wait to visit again, soon

This is a great family and or romantic place where you can escape from the city and become one with nature again. A huge population of geese, ducks and the odd swan will come up to you for a treat. Many rabbits will come and lay at your feet for some attention. The park is reasonably kept a good condition. Entry is free, braai facilities are on place and frequently flea markets are hold over weekends.

Relaxing place for the adults and the kids simply love it. 👌

The maintenance is very poor, some animals don't even have water in their buckets, if you are an animal lover rather stay away !

Wonderful place, lots of space, a locomotive train, lots to do. nice family place. Please help clean up litter.

It's a beautiful park just wish there were more vibrant flowers

Lovely venue. Loved the shady trees next to the water. Bathrooms needs a bit of upkeep. Watch out for the many holes dug by the bunnies.

Very nice place to spend time with family on weekends, kids can play around and feed the animals there are ducks, rabbits and peacocks walking around... And all this is free!

a great park to be at , the only glitch I have is the closing time half past 4 is way too early , 6 o clock should be the norm.

The Bokkie Park is a beautiful haven of nature in the middle of suburbia that kids and adults always thoroughly enjoy. Spacious with plenty of greenery around, and plenty of animal feeding opportunities. Downside: 1.Over time a deterioration of lapas, park equipment etc is clearly visible, and with no consistent maintenance and upgrades this beautiful park could fall apart spectacularly, and become an unpleasant place to visit. 2. Why is management apparently allowing random vehicles of visitors to enter the premises to load/offload picnic items? This driving through the park will incur damage and alter the character of the park. 3. October 2021. Dams are in a very concerning state. Once clear water is now a dark green or grey. Putrid smell. Clearly a sewage leak or the like, a danger to ducks, fish and other animals, and the kids and parents visiting. Disturbing to note that something seemingly identical occurred in 2020 as well. Surely contingencies need to be in place to prevent such hazardous problems recurring

Peaceful & quiet ❤🔥🤌

I went there for the first time...it was a good experience, lovely to see animals and the park is not bad at all.

First time visitor on Saturday 3 August 22. Lots of interesting stalls. Near the dam there was water that was very dirty with children and geese about. There were deep holes all over the place and for us elderly you had to keep your eyes on the ground all the time. Spoilt the visit .

Park is very dilapidated. Was there 4 yrs ago and now it was very disappointing to go there. A lot of the things has not been maintained. The wooden jungle gym is dangerous as the planks are rotting away. It only gets 3 stars as the kids enjoyed the few animals

Love feeding the animals here

Very nice and open park, we had lot of activities it was very fun
