Bellville Lot 6: local guidance for your hotel search

The following specific facilities are located in Bellville South and give an impression of the leisure and community themes represented there: swimming, sports, music, library resources and art. When planning your trip, you can rank these highlights according to the interests that matter for your stay. This keeps the local guidance concrete without grouping the different facilities into a single leisure category.

Swimming and sports

Bellville South Swimming Pool has a main pool, a children's pool and a baby pool. In addition to the main pool, two further pools are specifically designated as a children's pool and a baby pool. If you are considering swimming as a travel interest, this breakdown provides a specific point of reference without treating all the pools as alike. Check the current opening hours and fees before visiting.

Bellville South Sports Ground has facilities for cricket, rugby, soccer, darts and pigeon racing. The list therefore ranges from several ball sports to darts and pigeon racing. If you are considering sports as a travel interest, this gives you a more clearly defined picture of the disciplines mentioned. This focus is distinct from swimming and music lessons.

Music and art at Proteaville Recreation Centre

A mural from the Netball World Cup 2023 legacy project is located at Proteaville Recreation Centre in Bellville South. Local artists Riedwaan Marcus and Ethan Hendricks created the 4 m × 13 m work. It was unveiled in 2022; 2023 is part of the project’s name and is not the year it was unveiled. The years therefore refer to different things: 2022 to the unveiling, and 2023 to the named World Cup project. If you would like to see the mural in person, check in advance whether access to the Centre is possible.

The Bellville South Community Music Programme is also held at Proteaville Recreation Centre. It offers the fundamentals of music theory as well as lessons in piano, guitar, clarinet, trumpet and saxophone. This names theoretical fundamentals and five instruments as lesson topics. For travellers with a particular interest in music, this offers a different point of reference from the mural at the same Centre: the focus here is on music theory and instrumental lessons. If you are considering lessons, check the current schedule in advance.

Library and local resources

Bellville South Public Library offers the community and residents of Bellville South book lending as well as access to computers, newspapers and other resources. In addition to lending, the services include computer access and newspapers. This distinguishes the library from the sports facilities and music programme, which focus on sports and lessons, respectively. If you plan to visit, check the opening hours in advance.
