Tokai Park, naturally...
In our increasingly degraded world, the restoration and conservation of natural and cultural heritage markers is no longer an option – it’s an imperative affording us our only shot at a sustainable and rewarding future.
We foresee Tokai Park and its surrounds meeting the current and future needs of our naturally-occurring indigenous plant and animal species as well as those of our people – thereby becoming an integral part of Table Mountain National Park and its immediately adjacent neighbour, the City of Cape Town.
Just as Nature would have it.
