About Green Point Park

Green Point Park is a public biodiversity park in Green Point, Cape Town, on Green Point Common just behind Mouille Point, with an entrance on Bay Road. The common holds playing fields, wetlands, walking paths, gardens and a golf course. Its centrepiece, the Biodiversity Showcase Garden, is an educational garden of indigenous plants from the Cape floristic region and other South African biomes that also demonstrates environmentally responsible gardening. It was developed under the Green Goal initiative linked to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Garden themes include people and plants, covering the lives of Khoikhoi herders and early Cape settlers; discover biodiversity; and a wetland walk recalling the seasonal wetlands that once covered the common.
