Sandbaai residents can look forward to a fresh ‘new look’ playground as work has begun to upgrade the play space at Meent Street.

On 19 April 2024, Overstrand Municipality started to plant trees to beautify the grounds and all current equipment was removed. It will be replaced with new swings, slides, a jungle gym and stepping posts. The playground will not extend into the fynbos area.

Changes for the park is a long time coming and were discussed at a number of ward committee meetings. The upgrade of the park is also in the 2023/2024 IDP and included in the provisional 2024/25 budget as part of the Ward 7 ward specific projects that is open for public comment.

It is trusted that the upgrade will revitalise the area into a fun destination for families.
