This park is a great place to take a relaxing walk, while still being close enough to an urban environment. It's a wide open park and one can imagine how much developers would salivate at the thought of building apartments on this precinct. There are multiple paths all over the park, and adequate parking for vehicles. Some trees provide shade and it feels pretty safe because there are always plenty of people around. Still, it's best that women walk in groups. Some more accommodation for wheelchair users would be great and bathrooms on site would add value. You'll several dog walkers, and most are friendly and relaxed.
WoW... An Amazing 2.66km 4004 steps as per my Relive app around the Common.. Beautiful View... Very Clean and Safe.. Loved It.. 5 Stars from Me
We had a lovely walk there. Didn't go completely around but stayed near the trees looking for birds. There was quite a few people exercising but be aware of your surroundings when going. Flat easy walk with your dogs.
My friend and I enjoy walking around the Common twice a week. We typically do 2 laps, 5km. It's so enjoyable and I'm thankful to have this green space so close to home
Rondebosh Common is a beautiful open field space that just gives you that break away from one's busy lifestyle. This natural piece of land is good for those looking to relax from stress, get some fresh air or train to get fit. This is just one of the gems on our doorstep which we can use everyday for free! Only a slight down side is there are no restrooms and certain dog owners let there dogs loose. This is perfect for the whole family to get out for a few hours but definitely not something to do for the whole day. Restrooms: There are none. Zero. Dog-friendliness: You can walk your dog around the Common or on the field with a dog collar. Always keep a bag with incase they leave a number 2 which you would need to pick up and dispose of.
A friend and I went for a walk around the Common which we enjoyed. I do not recommend going there alone or after dark. I also did the Park Run on a Saturday at 8h00 which was loads of fun and safe as there were a lot of people
Beautiful place for an early morning or early evening jog or stroll with the family. My wife, daughters and our 4 year old walked around the common in +30min. Really great experience seeing many joggers and strollers enjoying the scenery and the tranquility. Beautifully kept oasis. 10 months later…. Beautiful evening last night, haven’t been to the common in some time, and she showed off her best. Even as we approach the end of our Autumn and heading into Winter, the air was fresh but not cold at all. The freedom to walk without your mask was liberating but the foul smelling green dirt bins quickly reminded you of the benefits of being masked. Overall a good night out walking around the common and seeing the green amongst the ashes reminds me that it doesn’t matter how gloomy things may look for now, life always prevails, so Choose Life.
Wonderful place to walk the dogs. Would be nicer if all users respected others rights, and the conditions of use on the board.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
I was scouting the area ad I'm listing a flat for sale nearby. Beautiful park. Good for an evening run, walk. There are toilets but I don't know if they are functional or not. Lovely views of Table Mountain.
This Heritage Site is a good example of Community and Government collaboration who along with Friends of Rondebosch Common work hard to retain the naturally occuring Vegetation... conservation, academic investigation and heritage preservation... as a lay person you can experience the ever changing vast floral landscape... and a dog and child friendly outdoor venue for any time of year... be careful where you walk there are a multitude of miniature flowers wherever you look
