Bunny Park - Benoni, East Rand, Johannesburg

The Bunny Park in Benoni is a family-friendly attraction offering a delightful outdoor experience. Situated in Johannesburg’s East Rand, this park is a favorite among locals and visitors alike, especially families with young children. The Bunny Park spans approximately 18 hectares and is home to a variety of farm animals, with the main attractions being the large numbers of free-roaming rabbits, which give the park its name. In addition to rabbits, visitors can also interact with goats, chickens, cows, and other small farm animals.

The park provides picnic areas and open spaces, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed day out in nature. Recently, the Bunny Park has undergone refurbishment efforts to improve its facilities and enhance animal welfare. This popular spot allows children to learn about and engage with animals, fostering an appreciation for nature and wildlife.

An interesting history...

During South Africa's apartheid era, a period defined by division and unrest, Bunny Park in Rynfield, Benoni, stood as a paradoxical space. On the surface, it offered a haven of innocence and joy - a place where children could marvel at fluffy bunnies hopping freely and families could gather for picnics beneath the African sky. However, this picturesque setting existed within the context of the nation's broader social and political turmoil.

Bunny Park was more than just a place for leisure; it mirrored the broader societal dynamics of its time. Like many public spaces during the apartheid era, it functioned under policies that enforced racial segregation and upheld inequality. Yet, within its boundaries, the charm of the animals and the pleasure of outdoor recreation sought to offer a temporary escape from the turbulent reality beyond its gates.

Under apartheid, segregation pervaded all public spaces, including parks and recreational sites. Although Bunny Park offered an escape and a space for family outings, it is important to acknowledge that not everyone had equal access to such simple joys. Despite its serene ambiance, the park was likely influenced by the same discriminatory laws that governed every facet of life during that era.
