The City of Cape Town’s Recreation and Parks Department is opening a public participation process for the Strandfontein Pavilion upgrade as part of the municipality’s Strandfontein Coastal Urban Node Development Framework.

Originally constructed in the 1980s as a day resort, the pavilion features a unique 300m-long windbreak promenade designed to mitigate the harsh south-easterly winds.

Despite its historical significance and coastal recreation value, the pavilion has suffered from ageing infrastructure and declining conditions with parts recently condemned by the City’s building inspector.

The public commentary process is currently underway. Interested parties have until the 4^th of November 2024 to provide feedback.

Project implementation is anticipated to begin in 2026.
