Keurboom Park, Recreation park in Rondebosch, South Africa.
Keurboom Park is a recreation area in Rondebosch featuring two separate children's play zones, outdoor exercise equipment, and designated dog-friendly sections. Ponds and streams flow through the grounds, creating habitats for local wildlife.
The park takes its name from an original Keurboom estate that once occupied the area. A 2003 tree-planting initiative brought back more than 200 native keurboom trees to restore the landscape.
The park is named after the original Keurboom estate, and the keurboom is an indigenous tree with pink flowers that grows very fast. Since 2019 the park has hosted an annual family market in November.
Keurboom Park borders the Western Province Cricket Club and Rondebosch Boys' High School in Rondebosch. Two children's play areas, open-air exercise equipment, dog-friendly open areas and ponds and streams lie within it, including a seasonal frog and dog pond. The annual family market has been held there each November since 2019.
The park hosted the 2012 African Cross Country Championships, where runners competed over distances ranging from 6 to 12 kilometers. This international sporting event highlighted the grounds' ability to stage major competitions.
