Helenvale Ext 12 Play Park

This community facility is an intervention of the SPUU programme (Safety and Peace Through Urban Upgrading – a multi-disciplinary programme consisting of both infrastructure and socio-economic projects aimed at increasing safety and peace in the community of Helenvale) funded via the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and KfW Development Bank of Germany.

The development of the park aimed to provide a safe, open play space for the children and youth of Extension 12 in Helenvale.

The project work included the construction of a seated pavilion area, paved pathways, a Soccer and Netball court, play area, and a gym facility.

Civil works began on site in 2023, with landscaping, fencing and finishing touches on site completed by locally-contracted SMMEs.

The project was handed back to the City at the end of 2024.
