Dunoon Park Restores Community Play Space

The City of Cape Town and private partners have restored Dunoon’s Thandabantu Park, transforming it from an illegal-dumping and sand-mining site into green lawns, play equipment and outdoor gym facilities. Officials including Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and Mayco member Francine Higham visited as final upgrades finished, while community reactions ranged from praise to accusations of a political stunt.

- 2Demonstrates City of Cape Town and private partnership delivering visible public-space rehabilitation and civic engagement
- 3Provides residents a safer recreational hub and model for similar neighborhood revitalizations across the city
