The rains have come and Kruin Park is greening again. The Jacarandas are all but over and the walk through the park to the Muckleneuk campus of UNISA is now through green trees. Gone is the dry of winter. Spring is late in the park but when it comes the transformation is almost immediate. This little jewel that sits on top of Muckleneuk ridge is well used by the local residents: few people know of the unique views over the city from high points in the park. There are maintained paths through the park which lead one from east to west in such dense bush that one has to remind oneself that the city is just below. The park is fenced and locked at nights. The gates open at 06:00 and the mornings are still fresh and new before the sun rises in all its November heat. A little piece of paradise, we think!
