Delta Park
Probably the second best dog walk in Joburg. Lots of open space
with dams on the site of an old sewerage farm.
Directions:
From Rustenburg Road take Road # 3 to the end. Turn left at the
last t-junction to the Environ-mental Centre .
Dog Friendliness: Technically all dogs should be on lead. There
have been some reports of vicious dogs attacking other dogs,
people and horses in this park.
Walk Time: About 1 hour.
Parking: Safe parking at the Environmental Centre.
Safety: Take the usual precautions. It is well used and you
should be safe at busy times.
Facilities: Some dilapidated loos, picnic sites and garbage
bins.
Water: There are various taps with drinking water and the dams
are usually clean.
The Walk: The park is crisscrossed with tracks covering open
grassland, some treed areas and a few access roads. Just have
fun exploring. If you want a longer walk, continue down to the
Braam-fontein Spruit and walk along the river.
Watch Out For: Dodgy dogs, horses (make sure your dog is under
control around horses), some litter and glass.
