Venning Park

The three-hectare park is formally laid out with a sunken garden on the western side of the park and a tea garden, the Heavenly Rose Café, in the middle.

The park also features a date palm-lined path and rose gardens on the eastern side near the American Embassy and the Indian High Commission.

Annuals are regularly planted on a site between the busy arteries of Pretorius and Schoeman Streets and quieter Eastwood and Farenden Streets.

[1] The park is named after John Harold Venning, former Municipal Parks Director of the city, who retired in 1940.
