Rondebosch Common

The 40-hectare grassland area contains diverse indigenous plant species and serves as a natural habitat for local birds and wildlife.

The land has functioned as a communal space since the 18th century, initially providing grazing grounds for livestock and later hosting military exercises.

Local residents engage in environmental preservation initiatives through community programs focused on maintaining the natural landscape and biodiversity.

Multiple access points and walking paths throughout the protected area allow visitors to explore the grounds from sunrise to sunset.

The site represents one of the few remaining urban commons in South Africa, containing rare plant species within metropolitan Cape Town.
