The Modderfontein Bird and Sculpture Park is a family-friendly picnic area set along the banks of Flamingo Dam, opposite Flamingo Shopping Centre. Managed by the Nevada Group, the park is well maintained and monitored, offering a clean and secure outdoor space for visitors to relax and spend time together.
The park’s wetlands attract resident flocks of flamingos, ducks, and geese, making it a scenic spot for birdwatching and casual photography. Families can enjoy shaded picnic areas, kids’ play equipment, and open lawns ideal for games and gatherings. A designated dog park area allows pets to explore off-leash and includes agility equipment for active play.
Entry costs R20 per person, with free access for children under six. Parking is available on Valley Road, and the park remains a popular choice for locals and visitors looking for a peaceful outdoor setting within Johannesburg’s urban surroundings.
