Looking for a day out with the family? Gillooly’s Farm is a beautiful park
perfect for walking, braaing, picnics and spending time in the outdoors enjoying
Joburg’s perfect weather.





Situated in Bedfordview, Gillooly’s Farm provides a quiet escape from the big
city rush. Picnic and braai facilities are available on 44 hectares of land.
Here you can enjoy walking trails for you and the dogs and recreational areas
for children.


A PLACE FOR TWITCHERS

If you love bird watching, Gillooly has an array of bird species in the area.
Spend your time with the binoculars watching the likes of the White-breasted
cormorant, the Reed cormorant, to the African Darter, also known as the
snakebird, Egrets, house sparrow, yellow-billed duck, and Cape wagtail, an
Egyptian goose and the Grey heron to name a few.

Apart from the aves, the farm also has a large man-made lake, which is home to a
number of fish species like the Common carp (or Eurasian carp), Blue kurper (or
Mozambique tilapia) and Sharptooth catfish (Barbel). However, these fish are
only to look at, no fishing is permitted.

FUN FOR THE FAMILY, INCLUDING DOGGOS

Perhaps you want to keep things in the family and take your fur-babies for a
walk. Gillooly’s Farm is a big winner when it comes to walking dogs. The ample
space and walking route offers new scenery from the usual dog parks in the city.

For parents with human babes, there are recreational areas on the farm, which
will be great for little ones. Parents can enjoy delicious food and refreshments
at the restaurant.

Travel guide Nokwanda Poppy says Gilloy’s farm is “the most beautiful place I
have ever seen in a while, so peaceful, chilled, safe and amazing. There is an
option of a picnic, swings, sitting next to the lake, hiking…I’m definitely
going to go there again before the end of this year.”

Another positive local guide, Siobhan McKane, rates the farm highly. “For a
public park, it is very well taken care of and safe. I felt safe parking my car
and walking around the lake. Beautiful views of the water and grounds. Almost
like being far from the city, but it’s actually closer than you’d expect.”

The braai area can be utilised by families and friends, and is the perfect way
to pass long summer afternoons with special folk. Pack a picnic and laze around
the water, or under a shady spot, reading books, and snacking on homemade
treats.
