Explore Delta Park and bask in the splendour of nature

Delta Park, found in Randburg, is a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The fantastic park features walking, bike trails, and other recreational amenities such as a ball field, playground and lake.

One of Johannesburg's largest parks, Delta Park is perfect for a stroll or a peaceful picnic thanks to its 104 acres of grassland and forests. Thousands of visitors visit the site yearly to hike the lovely green paths that lead to the gorgeous tree-lined dams.

What makes this park so significant historically

In the early 1960s, a section of Delta Park was laid out and developed as a component of the city's urban renewal initiative. As the first park to be built in Johannesburg's northern suburbs, Delta Park played a significant role in shaping the city's development by providing a green haven in an otherwise urban environment. It has since developed into a well-known tourist destination where people from all over Johannesburg come to relax and unwind away from the noise and bustle of the city in a setting that helps them reconnect with nature.

Exceptional natural beauty with abundant birdlife

The park has lush green fields, picturesque walking pathways, and a lake that gives visitors a tranquil setting. A stroll around the park's perimeter takes the better part of a morning, especially if you take the time to examine the many species. It has rolling hills, rich green fields, and a quiet lake that gives guests a peaceful setting.

This park is perfect for anyone who enjoys observing wildlife, particularly the ducks on the lake and the many beautiful birds that inhabit the area. Picture yourself searching for a peaceful retreat, a beautiful setting for your next workout, or an opportunity to deepen your connection to the natural environment. If so, then you should visit Delta Park.

As well as the Florence Bloom Bird Sanctuary, the park features a sensory route and hides from which to observe the avian inhabitants. One of the quietest spots in Delta Park is the southeast corner, where several beautiful picnic places exist.

Get to experience recreational activities

This park is ideal for visitors of all ages hoping to get some fresh air and exercise along its well-maintained walking and bicycle paths and take in the stunning surroundings. Various sports grounds, particularly soccer fields, are also known for organised activities, casual enjoyment, and play.
