Mitchell Park, Near Florida, Durban

It's a nice place for the kids. It's reasonably clean, and semi looked after. It is feeling like it's being left alone more and more each year, though. Too many enclosures are under repair, and bathrooms are always less than adequately clean and working. One day, I'm hoping that they will fix up the ex Blue Zoo restaurant location. Still no tenant, and the ceilings are collapsing, leaving the whole location feeling more derelict than it should.

Always enjoy Mitchell's Park for family outings. Play area for the kids, a section with picnic tables and benches, a band stand you can hire for a function. The only issue is nor ally parking but you eventually find a spot. Carpool if you can.

Was a lovely, peaceful atmosphere. The maintenance is noticeable. Kids loved the playground with a variety of activities. Overall, a pleasant experience.

It was a gorgeous summer's day in Durban today. Brilliant sunshine and magnificent memories captured as the girls ran free in the Park . Sadly, the playground equipment is terribly abused by adults who are not allowed to make use of it , leading to broken and damaged equipment. Most are in desperate need of a repair and repaint. Nonetheless, small families were out in the dozens and it was good being amongst other parents who share the struggles of raising young children in the midst of a pandemic.

It's the fun family outing place to be. Best picnic spot for free. Safe parking and safe place to chill.

90% of my childhood memories are playing on the swings and slides at Mitchell Park, having picnics with family and marvelling at the beautiful flowers and plants. It's sad to see over the years Mitchell Park has not been maintained well - the ponds have algae growing and the swings are now rusty and some are broken. It would be wonderful if there could be volunteer based clean-ups a couple times a month for better maintenance of the park. Playground: Has swings, slides, monkey-bars and a sanded ground to ensure children do not get hurt if they fall. Restrooms: There is one near the playground - however the facilities are not too clean. Dog-friendliness: Pets are often brought to the park however a few times I've witnessed dogs not on a leash which went to attack random people having a picnic. This can be seriously dangerous for kids. Picnic area: Beautiful picnic area with grassy patches as well as table/benches facilities.

Whilst the gardens and play area are very well kept my heart was very broken to find that the play area for the disabled kids is neglected and very very filthy!! These children most especially deserve all the love and joy the world has to offer but this park tells a terribly sad story. Whoever manages this park should be fired ON THE SPOT. This is outright prejudice and incredibly heart breaking in comparison to how the rest of the park is kept so beautifully.

Fantastic park to have a picnic or spend a few hours with the kids.lovely and green with a superb play area for the kids. Wild birds and small critters around when you eating a snack. They have the zoo just around the corner and a coffee shop as well.

Nice place to relax, a play ground for kids. Also beautiful animals in Mitchell park zoo Playground: Good for kids, clear view to watch kids play while picnicing

It's been awhile since our last visit. Beautiful flowers and plants like still adorn the park. It's unfortunate that Blue Zoo is closed, and the jungle gym there is abit unkempt. The bigger jungle gym in the park however is kept clean from litter and still in good condition.
