Located on the corner of Florin and Krugerrand streets within Roodepoort, Gauteng is Wilgeheuwel Xtreme Park. It is not every day that you find a place that not only offers loads to do within magical surroundings but has an amazing story behind it too.
Due to the rapid growth of complexes and developments within the area, an increasing need for green spaces and recreation sites for city dwellers became apparent. In 2007, the 1.22-hectare piece of land you now know to be Wilgeheuwel Xtreme Park was taken over by the city to create a beautiful space for residents to enjoy.
More than 200 employees of the city descended onto the land and transformed it within hours. Within just one day to be exact, the area was cleared, the foundation was laid, various trees were planted and equipment such as swings, jungle gyms, a fountain and benches were brought in to create the spectacular park it is today. Yes, you heard correctly. The entire Wilgeheuwel Xtreme Park was created in just one day.
