Kruin Park is a narrow strip of land between Kruin Street and Lukas Street. Kruin Park is part of the oldest nature reserve in South Africa, the 115-year old Groenkloof Nature Reserve, which was proclaimed in 1895.
The Kruin Park Nature Reserve provides lovely views of Pretoria. A well marked hiking trail of about 2 km (once you find the start!) will take you on a route through this small nature reserve. The area is fenced in, which makes it safe for your dog as he/she will not be able to get out. At the time of our visit, we were the only people in the reserve, and could walk off-leash with the dogs.
Recommendation: The Nature Reserve is recommended. If combined with the Jan Cilliers Park it is a fun outing. It is not recommended to walk by yourself in the Nature Reserve due to possible safety concerns.
Directions: Corner of Lukas Street and Arnoldi Street, Lukasrand, Pretoria
