Parks · Green Point
A 10.5-hectare urban park between Signal Hill and Cape Town Stadium, with wide lawns, ponds, a running track, two play parks and a fenced Biodiversity Showcase Garden of Cape fynbos. It opened for the 2010 World Cup and is now the city's most-used central green space, free and gated.
The City lists dog walking as an official activity here and the paths are flat, paved and shaded in parts, which makes it an easy central walk that ends near the Sea Point Promenade.
The City of Cape Town's own facility page lists the park's features as "Dogs on leads allowed" and names dog walking as an activity, with free entry and 07:00-19:00 opening. Dogs must stay out of the Biodiversity Showcase Garden, and no off-leash designation is published, so keep the lead on. Visitors report an informal enclosed dog area at the western edge; that is not in the City's listing, so treat it as unconfirmed. Source: capetown.gov.za facility page.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.

No photo yetThe northernmost and quietest of Clifton's four granite coves, reached by steep stairways from Victoria Road. It has the most surf of the four beaches and is usually near-empty, which is why it became Clifton's dog beach while Second, Third and Fourth fill with swimmers and volleyball.
No photo yetThe last remnant of the indigenous forest that once covered the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, now a web of shaded paths, streams and contour trails linking Kirstenbosch, Rhodes Memorial and Constantia Nek. It is the city's most popular everyday forest walk, busiest at dawn and after work.
No photo yetA long-running Italian restaurant in a garden setting on the Hout Bay road, known for wood-fired pizza, home-made pasta and a family-friendly lawn with a play area. It changed hands in February 2026 but kept the format and the dog policy.
