Green Point Common, Public recreational area in Green Point, South Africa

Green Point Common is a large public green space in Cape Town, South Africa, featuring sports fields, walking and cycling paths, and planted gardens near the Cape Town Stadium. The grounds are divided into several zones, each set aside for a different type of outdoor activity.

The land served as a military ground in the early 19th century and was previously known as Waterplaats, where the Dutch East India Company grazed cattle. Over time it shifted from military and agricultural use to the open public space it is today.

The biodiversity garden displays plants native to the Western Cape region through information stations and walking routes where visitors can learn about local flora. This display helps people understand the variety of plants found in the area.

Green Point Park is open daily from 09:00 to 19:00 and entry is free. The Biodiversity Garden sits behind Mouille Point, with an entrance on Bay Road. Paths link the playing fields, wetlands and gardens, and the grounds can be reached on foot, by bike or by car.

Part of the grounds holds a biodiversity garden dedicated to plants native to the Western Cape, with information signs placed along the walking routes. This area tends to be overlooked by visitors who come mainly for sport, but it offers a quieter corner to explore.
