Controlled access parks now open to public

Security guards at the gate will monitor and manage the number of people entering the parks to avoid overcrowding.

The City of Ekurhuleni’s controlled access community parks are now open and ready to welcome members of the public.

Following the president’s announcement of the country’s move to lockdown level two, effective from August 18, all parkgoers can now enjoy the use of the city’s parks.

Residents are, however, urged to follow strict Covid-19 rules of always maintaining a social distance of 1.5m, wearing cloth masks and regularly sanitising or washing hands.

The access-controlled parks will operate from 6am to 6pm daily.
