Always a treat to visit these gardens, be it in summer or winter. The summer brings with it beautifully bright flowers and lush green grass. It's a great and quiet place to relax, meet with a group of friends, or bring your family and kids to while enjoying the nature and well crafted landscape

Beautiful and tranquil place to visit whether you want to ride your bike, take a walk, picnic, feed the ducks or sit by the water (plus more). Don't always feel too comfortable around the rose gardens though as the people that congregate there like to point their cameras in your direction, especially if you are with a female or children. This issue has never been addressed appropriately

If you’re expecting a botanical garden ???? with a clear picture about the diversity of plants and some info about, think again.
Although is still well kept it got some particular features, I would suggest to take some picnic and have an enjoyable and relaxing meal

Very well maintained garden, with lots of wild life (birds). The park itself was very clean and safe. This is a great place to enjoy a walk, spend time with family/friends or just to sit and relax nature.

It was a nice day out. Cool place to have a nice pleasant walk with your dogs. Will recommend to all.

Please note that this is the Emmarentia Dam and NOT Johannesburg botanical gardens. Unsure why Google picked it up as Johannesburg botanical gardens. Johannesburg botanical garden doesn't allow pets (rightly so think).

I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Came for a lovely picnic, entrance was free with secure parking. Cyclists and children are welcome too, as well as dogs. Gorgeous, vast place, and super clean and well cared for. I love it!!

Well maintained park with memorial benches. Ideal for dog walks, nature walks and family picnics. There is a river that flows through with interesting flora.
