De Waal Park, Cape Town

Salvador came with me to work today and while I had a few errands to run, he patiently waited for his promised walk in De Waal Park in Cape Town.

Find your way there
The park is 12 hectors in size (ample space for energetic dogs) and it is a bustling meeting place for people and dogs from all around the area. A few main features is the Victorian Fountain (which Salvador saw as an open invitation for some swimming),

 Loads of beautiful trees and benches to relax on, paved walk ways,  lots of grassy space for dogs to run around on and to top it all off, the whole park is fenced off so your dog won't be able to run into the busy roads. These are only a few of the great features of this tranquil park.

The park is open daily from 06:30 - 20:00 in Summer months and from 07:00 - 18:00 in Winter months and if you go late afternoon, you're sure to meet lots of dogs! We went mid day and it was relatively quiet, although Salvador made two friends and there was some serious shenanigans going on!

 Most of the dogs we met weren't on leads, but it is obviously up to you. We will definitely be returning to this one!!
