Open to the public, this a perfect place for a lazy picnic or hike on one of the many pathways. There is also the Tree Canopy Walkway which is a new curved bridge that winds and dips its way through and over the trees. Inspired by a snake skeleton, and informally called ‘The Boomslang” (meaning tree snake), it is a sculptural, raised walkway.
The Walkway takes visitors from the forest floor into and through the trees and bursts out above the canopy, giving spectacular panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains, botanical gardens and nearby neighbourhoods.
This walkway is 130 m long and 12 m above the ground, narrow and slender, with a few wider view-point areas, and lightly snakes its way through the canopy, in a discreet, almost invisible way. It is more than just a traditional boardwalk – like a snake, it winds and dips.
A great day out in nature.
