Geocache Description:

Take a stroll, walk the dogs, feed the ducks

Just 6km from Johannesburg’s city centre, Emmarentia Dam and the surrounding botanical gardens provide a great open space and recreational area for Joburgers and visitors alike. A popular weekend picnicking site, the park is touted as one of the best places in the city to walk your dog, jog or ride a bike. Even better, you can snooze on a blanket in an out-of-the-way spot in the sunshine.

The 81 Ha park has three dams on which boating, canoeing and sailing is offered, and dates back to 1866. The farm “Braamfontein” was owned by the family Geldenhuys, who contracted landless Boers to build the main dam after the South African War. The dam was named after Louw Geldenhuys’s wife, Emmarentia. The gardens were founded around this time too, so the 30 000 trees – including exotics such as oaks, redwoods and birches and at least 20 000 indigenous specimens – are well established.

Muggles love the park, so stealth is required!
