Bokkie Park in East Rand, Gauteng is a great place to bring the family for a fun filled day out. Children will enjoy the playground and will love the petting farm. Activities at the farm allow you to stroke and feed the animals or even milk the cows. Bunny rabbits roam free through the park and are always a highlight for the little ones. Camel and pony rides are also available at the weekends. There is a dam at the park which is home to many water fowl and is a great place to sit alongside whilst taking in the stunning nature around you. Bring along a picnic or make use of the brei facilities in the park. If you forgot to bring lunch you can visit the kiosk for a few tasty snacks. Once a month, on a Saturday, there is a craft market held in the park with a variety of art and craft stalls offering a number of interesting items. A tea garden is also set up on these days where you can sit and relax while the kids play.

While the well-known Fountains needs no introduction, few people realise that this recreational site was proclaimed as a nature reserve by President Paul Kruger on 1 February 1895 - making it the oldest nature reserve on the African continent. In the region of the two natural springs, which supply water to Tshwane residents, are various recreational facilities, such as a well-equipped caravan park. In the shade of large witstinkhout trees, alongside the Apies River and close to the swimming pool, shelters (dance floors), children's play park and the historical ruins of the house of Lucas Cornelius Bronkhorst, the brei facilities are located. The Denneboom Kiosk and the Fountains Deck Pub and Grill are within walking distance of this site. To round off your day of fun, take a ride on the miniature train through the valley.
