Chronicling the Transformation: Benoni Bunny Park's Second Renovation Phase

In the unfolding history of the Benoni Bunny Park, there stands a notable milestone that began in November 2017. As chroniclers of the park’s evolution, we detail the commencement of the second phase of renovations that promised to usher in a new era of beauty and improved facilities for both its animal residents and the community they enchant.

Renewal Begins

It was reported by the Benoni City Times on November 24, 2017, that progress had indeed taken root with the onset of phase two of the Bunny Park’s renovations. This phase, which was announced to have started on November 1, set in motion a series of enhancements aimed at fostering growth and well-being within the park’s borders

Enhancements on the Horizon

With the vision of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM), the park’s landscape began to transform. The additions comprised more than just aesthetic improvements—they were steps toward sustainability and care. The lushness of new grass planting, the expansion of the irrigation system, the upgrading of existing animal shelters, and the creation of meandering pathways were on the agenda, heralding an enriched park experience for all visitors.

Expected to be completed by the end of June 2018, this second phase was a continuation of what had already been achieved previously, including the dredging of three dams, the installation of a new pumphouse, and the upgrade of the dams’ water inlets and outlets.

A Home Reimagined

This historical chapter was marked by an attentive approach to the park’s beloved residents. The EMM spokesperson, Themba Gadebe, noted that a targeted number of 50 rabbits would remain within the park’s care, ensuring their well-being with adequate space and resources. A re-introduction of the farm animals was also part of the plan, but with a commitment that no animal would return until sufficient natural grazing was secured and backed by the approval of the SPCA.

History Recorded

This period in the Bunny Park’s history reflects a testament to the park’s dedication to cultivating an environment where nature and community can thrive side by side. As we narrate this account, it serves as a reminder of the collective effort and passion invested in preserving and enhancing one of Benoni’s cherished corners of nature.

While these entries document past events, they continue to inspire current and future guardians of the Bunny Park to uphold the principles of care, stewardship, and community engagement that define this special place.

As we invite you to revisit these memories and records, let us collectively take pride in the journey that brought us here, and acknowledge the hard work and vision that have paved the way for the Bunny Park’s continuing story.
