Football Fields and Sports

Blueridge Sports Ground in Kraaifontein has six football fields, one of which is floodlit. For travellers interested in football, this is a specific point of reference. The number of fields and the lighting on one of them make the sporting focus clear.

It is specifically associated with family outings, school-holiday adventures and birthday parties. Among the destinations mentioned here, it is therefore the one most clearly focused on families, with several different types of activities on offer. Water play is seasonal. As activities and operating arrangements may change, check the playpark’s latest information before making plans.

Gardens and Décor

Cape Garden Joostenbergvlakte in Kraaifontein offers both gardens to explore and pots, decorative items and gifts to browse. A garden visit and a range of items to look through are combined here. If you are planning your trip around gardens and décor rather than sports or rides, this distinction can help you choose a theme. It also sets this attraction apart from the destinations with a stronger focus on sports or play.

A Place of Remembrance

Kraaifontein Cemetery covers ten hectares. Its features include memorial walls with inscriptions, mausoleums and niches; it is also a green space for remembering and commemorating the deceased. Of the places mentioned, this one focuses on remembrance rather than sport or play. The different forms of memorial give the site its own character, which you can take into account when choosing themes for your trip.

Vehicle Collection in the Wider Vicinity

The Wijnland Auto Museum is located in Joostenberg Vlakte, in the wider vicinity of the destination. It displays a varied collection of vehicles, including rusty cars. Visitors can also go inside a Convair aircraft. The museum therefore offers both a collection of vehicles and the opportunity to see inside an aircraft.
