Zoo Lake Johannesburg South Africa Urban Rural Scenic Travel

Urban Rural Travel Adventures goes to Zoo Lake, which is situated in what is originally known as the Herman Eckstein Park. In 1904 the land which includes both Zoo Lake and the Johannesburg Zoo was ceded by means of a Deed of Gift..."in trust for the inhabitants of Johannesburg...to be used for the purpose of a public park".
The Zoo Lake covers an area of 46.6 ha. The Coronation Fountain was built n 1937 to commemorate the coronation of King George VI. The first boating licence was awarded in 1911. The Bowling Club and Sports Club were established in the early'30's. The land was donated to the city by Herman Eckstein who stated that the park around the lake should be “a Park for the People” Zoo Lake is therefore a place where people representing all races, cultures and creeds can be together in harmony with nature.

I enjoyed your video but it should have been called road trip around Zoo Lake. Zoo Lake has so much more to offer. Please consider making another video showing the spaces inside this wonderful park
