Ratanga Park - Century City, Cape Town
Ratanga Park in Century City, Cape Town, is a scenic urban park developed on the former site of Ratanga Junction, the popular theme park that closed in 2018. The redevelopment was part of a broader initiative to transform Century City into a mixed-use area that offers not only residential and commercial spaces but also green public areas. Ratanga Park was designed to reflect this vision, offering a blend of natural beauty, water features, and ample recreational spaces.
Origins and Development: The idea behind Ratanga Park was to create a tranquil green space that could serve both residents and visitors of Century City, marking a shift from the high-adrenaline experience of the old theme park. The park preserves some of the original water canals from Ratanga Junction, integrating them into a landscape filled with indigenous plants, pathways, and relaxing viewpoints. Opened to the public in 2021, Ratanga Park is now a destination for outdoor activities, picnics, and community events, with scenic boardwalks, bridges, and shaded seating areas that encourage relaxation and connection to nature.
Features:
Landscaped Gardens: Ratanga Park features a variety of local and indigenous plants that bring color and seasonal interest, supporting the local ecosystem and attracting birdlife.
Water Canals and Ponds: Retained from the old theme park, the canals are now part of the park's tranquil setting, with walking paths along the water's edge.
Recreation Areas: With its open lawns, play zones, and benches, the park offers a family-friendly setting for picnics, relaxation, and casual strolls.
Ratanga Park stands as an innovative example of urban transformation, providing a peaceful retreat and honoring the legacy of the much-loved Ratanga Junction.
