The Friends of De Waal Park is a group of volunteering individuals who live in the area. They assist the city in maintaining and improving the park for its citizens. The group helps pay for gardening and maintenance in the park and also for the all-important poop bags for dog walkers. In addition, they have repaired benches and arranged for the for the toilet block to remain open after hours. The group has also upgraded the children’s play area and arranged for additional tables and benches to be placed in the park.

The concerts are staged in the original Edwardian bandstand which was manufactured by Messrs Walter McFarlane & Co of Glasgow and presented to ‘the corporation’ in Cape Town by the Traders-Market & Exhibition Ltd. London in 1904. It was moved from the original exhibition space in Green Point to De Waal Park some years later.

The concerts are open to everyone, so bring along a picnic blanket, your family and friends and have a good day out. Dogs are always welcome as well.
