A walk in the Park

Tokai Park is an exciting new area where SANParks, the City of Cape Town and SANBI (Kirstenbosch) are working together to restore the natural vegetation in recently felled pine plantations. An imaginative and creative plan to integrate urban and natural features has been worked out and is being implemented with tracts of critically endangered Cape Flats Sand Fynbos being restored without excluding the needs of people living on the "urban edge". The result: an area to walk, ride, cycle, exercise, play and just soak up some of the wonderful biodiversity of Cape Town.
