Hi Vicky
Absolutely. I’ve attended several children’s parties there and its large open play area is excellent.
Can Greenpoint Park be used for children’s parties
Hi who can I speak too with regaurds to a kiddies party I would like to have in the park?
Hey, yesterday was such a nice sunny spring day and could’ve been better than spending the day in the Urban Park. My wife and I started a NPO (Sport and Adventures) and our first outing surely going to be there. So fun and educational. Well layed out and safe. I recommend it to youth groups that want to see our biodiversity and learn more how we can sustain our planet. Anyone that wants to refer me to similar educational adventurous venues please email me: bluemountain.npo@gmail.com Donovan Poole
Hi this must be one of the most BEAUTIFUL parks I have ever seen & I have seen many. It really reflects our cultures and complements our beautiful city (Cape Town). I’m getting married soon and would love to take some pictures there. Please let me know if it’s possible.
Thank u z:)
An absolute breathtaker! A must see for every single proud Cape Townian!! I love it!!!
What a beautiful setting for young and old. A must for all Capetonians to see and explore- also very educational
Hi there who can i speak with to use the park for a kiddies party?
Awesome. One can even listen to frogs again. Thanks, Cape Town!
ONE BEAUTIFUL PLACE , ONE OF THE BEST PARKS CAPE TOWN HAS EVER SEEN, WELL DONE, NOT ONLY FOR THE YOUNG , EVEN FOR THE YOUNG AT HEART.
A beautifull place to take your children to. The only negative thing is people need to clean up after the pets or they should allow pets in there if they cannot keep it clean
Just one more fabulous reason why Cape Town is the best city in the universe!
A GREAT PARK! A true GEM!!! WELL DONE CITY OF CAPE TOWN!!! :-)

Can you tell me what the length of the path is this park?
The Green Point Urban Park is in Green Point on the Atlantic Seaboard and surrounds the Cape Town Stadium. It can be accessed either from Beach Road (M6) in Green Point (opposite the Virgin Active) or Bay Road, Moullie Point.
Where exactly is the park located?
