1) The park is managed by the OCA, The deposit on the keys is R50.00
refundable on return. The money stays in the park funds, You must apply for
the key by filling out a form eith your details and pay the deposit to
receive a key.
2) The park is owned by council and the OCA has an agreement with them to
keep the park as safe as possible for our toddlers, Previously we used to
pick up injection needles discarded by drug addicts ( Im sure nobody wants
their little ones to pick up these needles and stand a chance to get pricked
by them) and broken booze bottles left by the drunken vagtrants and night
club goers, this created a problem as far as the little ones are concerned.

in response to the below post from someone:
As for the kiddies park, gate is to be locked at all times, non key
holders are not permitted to enter, all mess must be cleaned up.

a few questions - why do we have to pay for keys if we already
contribute to the Cids? why do keys cost R30 when i can get one cut
down the road for R10? who sets the price and where does the 'profit'
go? what are the criteria for being permitted to purchase a key?
also... as a 'non key holding' resident of observatory i'm shocked
that i am 'not premitted to enter' the parks. who owns the parks? i
completely agree that they should (in line with city policy) be locked
at night, the Green point park, for instance, is locked from 7 in the
evening, but surely the parks should be readily and FREELY accessible
to everyone who wants to use them during the day.
If VetusSchola are successfully implementing their brief to clear obs
of non-conformists then surely this restrictive approach is not
entirely necessary? parks in rondebosch/pinelands/claremont are not
locked during the day.
i do btw have a small child who i take to parks in the city centre and
elsewhere and we don't have a problem with sharing the space with our
fellow capetonians...
