Zoo Lake, Johannesburg Strolls, ambles, boats and picnics etc Ever been in town on a Sunday afternoon and wondered what to do? There are many parks in Johannesburg and a stroll at Zoo Lake is certainly worth considering. Amble around the lake, a rowing boat on the lake and a lazy snack or meal at Moyo Restaurant will fill that empty afternoon for you, especially if it happens to be the first weekend of the month when the 'Artists under the Sun' art market holds its monthly exhibition. Situated, as it is, along Jan Smuts avenue, the park is only 15 min from the city centre.
Security Zoo Lake is perhaps one of the safer parks in the city. It should however be remembered that it is a public open space and as such basic precautions should be adhered to. Try to walk in a party of four or five people. Leave all your valuables at home. Always be conscious of what is going on around you. Johannesburg City Parks and the Zoo Lake Users Committee try to make your visit to the park a safe and pleasant occasion but in common with parks and public open spaces throughout the world, there is always risks. The onus is on the individual to ensure his or her own safety. Conclusion Zoo Lake is certainly worth a visit. I walked the area when taking these photos and was amazed at how beautiful the park is. Try it and see for yourself!
