Since 2017 we've been actively helping to restore and rehabilitate Zoo Lake
The Zoo Lake Users Committee (ZLUC) is a registered NPC of committed residents and dedicated volunteers working to make Zoo Lake our very own New York Central Park.
We aim to reverse the decay and decline of the park after years of neglect and insufficient resource allocation, to work towards its rehabilitation, development, and ultimately being recognised as a world-class city park.
Our three key focus areas
We have identified three priority activities that guide our efforts to help restore and maintain Zoo Lake.
An estimated R6 million in private investment and countless volunteer hours committed
Through regular projects and unrelenting donor drives, our community of volunteers have rallied behind us to revive our beloved Zoo Lake.
But the work has only just begun. To realise our dream of creating a clean, green and safe park for everyone to enjoy, we need your help.
Will you help us revive and restore Zoo Lake?

![Mandela Day Magic ✨
Heart, hands, and community spirit — what a day! 💛
Zoo Lake, our very own city gem, saw a whole community show up this Mandela Day — braving the winter chill and bringing all the warmth.
Clean-up volunteers rolled up their sleeves, led by the passionate team from Zoo Lake Users Committee (ZLUC). They were joined by the unstoppable energy of learners from Jan Celliers Laerskool en Preprimêr, The Ridge School, St Katharine’s School and Japari School.
A big shout-out to our partners in this effort: @joburgparkszoo, the Environment and Infrastructure Services Department, @fibre.circle, @sothebysrealtywestcliff, SAPRA and the PRA. Community in action!
And the magic didn’t end there...
🌳 Two white pear trees were planted
🎨 A brand-new mosaic was unveiled — celebrating Zoo Lake’s 121st birthday
🧽 Graffiti has been removed from the swimming pool wall thanks to [dot]Good
🎨 The wall got a fresh coat of paint supplied by @duluxrosebank
☕ @theperfectcup.parkview was there keeping everyone warm and fueled!
Madiba’s spirit of service is alive and well. Thank you to every single person who made a difference. 💛
