Facilities under consideration include volleyball and pickleball courts, an outdoor gym, a children\u2019s playground, a secure dog park, picnic areas and a swimming facility. Areas of indigenous vegetation would also be protected, providing valuable habitat for local wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vision is to create a space where families can spend time together, children can play safely, residents can enjoy outdoor activities and the community can appreciate Sandbaai\u2019s natural surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An Opportunity for Sandbaai<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sandbaai has grown considerably over the years, but its public recreational facilities have not kept pace with the needs of the community. The remaining undeveloped land presents an opportunity to address some of these needs while preserving valuable open space for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal seeks to balance recreational development with environmental protection, rather than developing the entire area. It also aims to create a sustainable community asset that can support its own ongoing maintenance and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Community input has been an important part of the process, with residents invited to share their views and suggestions for the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SCVID is working towards securing a long-term arrangement with Overstrand Municipality to make the project possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"728\"
