O miejscu

De Waal Park remains the primary neighbourhood green space for Oranjezicht and the City Bowl.

Farmland originally owned by the Van Breda family became municipal property to secure water storage, leaving the central ground open as a park. Cape Town mayor David Christiaan de Waal directed widespread tree planting across the grounds before the site opened to the public. Stone perimeter walls join a dense Kei apple hedge along Molteno Road to enclose the Victorian grounds.

The park operates as a designated provincial heritage site protected in perpetuity. An iron bandstand relocated from the Green Point exhibition grounds anchors the lawn alongside a Victorian fountain fed by an active artesian well that supplies water downhill. Long-term residents use the shaded pathways daily for off-leash dog walking under an extensive variety of mature canopy trees beneath the Molteno Reservoir.
