Zoo Lake

Corner of Jan Smuts Avenue and Westwold Way, Parkview, Johannesburg, South Africa
Tel: +27 11 646 8807
 

Probably the most frequented open-space area in the suburbs of Johannesburg, Zoo Lake has a restaurant, paddle-boat facilities as well as waterfowl in abundance. The restaurant is housed within buildings at the heart of the property and a bowling club lies to the right (members only but they're fun to watch). Concerts are often hosted here and an annual, `Jazz at the Park' concert is becoming a recognised event. `Artists under the Sun' is a regular affair providing artists an opportunity to showcase their works by the lakeside. Weekends are always hectic and everyone and their dog seems to find some amusement there. No entrance fee. Dogs on leads only. Plenty of parking.

  • Restaurant; mayos gift shop; artists in the park.
  • Not much goes on.

“I lived in Johannesburg for over 30 years and know zoo lake well. There's little going on there nowadays. It has a couple of restaurants, the most spectacular of which is the recently built mayo restaurant which has to be a favorite with tourists as it is a cuisine heaven of cultural diversity. You can walk around the lake and there is of course a really good zoo in Johannesburg close by which is well worth visiting. Once a month zoo lake presents artists in the park an artist's dream where local artists display their artwork. Occasionally there are music afternoons at weekends which all add to the culture and vibrancy of the country.”
