Park Island is a small island on the Zandvlei, the vlei (lake) at the bottom of my road. The only way to access the island is from a walkway on the other side of the vlei, and while I have paddled around it in my kayak many times, I have never been on the island. This changed last weekend, when I had to do a recon on the island (to look at a possible site for a memorial bench for a friend), so while I was there I took Eccles for a walk.
To my utter surprise I found a labyrinth on the island, just 600m from my house (in a direct line – about 3km if I take the road). It was only created last year, and in the dry weather it has been struggling to get established, but I’m sure that it will be wonderful once it gets more established and teh paths become more clear. Watch this space for an update…
I was so excited to discover this on the weekend, what a find! The path is not that easy to follow and needs some more plants or guiding lines. Who mapped this out? and how can I be involved?
Wendy, the island is managed by the Zandvlei Trust (https://zandvleitrust.org.za/); they are the best people to speak to.
