Near the Northgate Dome in the north of Johannesburg, is a pristine 55ha park with rolling walks around a dam and indigenous bushveld. This picturesque park is a delightful surprise and a secret treasure about which many Johannesburgers are unaware.
Anticipating residential growth in the area and showing great foresight, the old Randburg municipality established the park in 1972. It is filled with unspoiled indigenous bushveld and is a breath of fresh air in a region carpeted with townhouses and cluster developments.
We will be following the 5km Parkrun course, which starts on the cobbled road just below the parking lot and above the dam. This is also where we will be meeting.
Because of the park policy, we will not be allowed to put up a flag or branding but look out for the group assembling at this point and join the WhatsApp group for updates and to make contact.
We will have coffee at Doppio Zero in Bellairs Park afterwards.
