Proudly preserving Jo'burg's Green Gem

Upgraded, planted and rehabilitated the banks around the lake with indigenous plants, compost and soil generously donated by the community, residents and users of the park.

Stabilised the banks with gabion baskets and geocell webbing with the assistance and sponsorship of engineering companies.

Erected berms on the west side of Zoo Lake to assist with excess water coming down from Parkview, kindly donated by a resident engineer.

A selfie frame was erected, and recycled table and bench sets were donated.

Laid paving around all the benches and the selfie frame.

Indigenous trees planted, and as part of the 121st birthday of Zoo Lake, another 121 indigenous trees will be planted.

All the benches around the lake have been upgraded with our ‘memorial adopt a bench project’ – 17 benches upgraded.

Our basketball courts have been upgraded with the help of Hennessy and other generous donors.

Capping of the stormwater system on the north side of the lake, thanks to generous donations from the community and Jan Celliers Laerskool.

Our hardworking garden committee works most Thursdays in the gardens, weeding, planting and keeping the flowerbeds neat. Thanks to them, our gardens are pristine.

A waste management project has been installed to assist with the excess litter and recycling, and all the recycling items are sold, and the funds go to the upkeep of Zoo Lake.
