PROJECT: STEENBOK WAY PARK, FISH HOEK
The plan to revive the parks began with Steenbok Way in May 2017.
A great effort by volunteers from across the Valley who showed up to plant, water, and play, followed. Families like the Schuttes and Fudges put in an enormous amount of hard work; plants were donated by people like Claira Lavender, and many individuals, educators, and members of the broader community, contributed to transforming a neglected space, into something that is heading to fabulous.
To all those who played a part in this project - the community thanks you!
Scroll through the gallery to see how things have progressed - and then catch up with the most exciting development for this space.
