A perfect morning for a good cause
Fun Walk 2025
The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and a cool breeze carried the mouth-watering aromas of boerewors, coffee and freshly baked treats through the park. Laughter and footsteps filled the air as this year’s Fun Walkers did lap after lap – some chasing the promise of a free coffee, all walking to support Brander Park.
The second Brander Park Fun Walk, held on Heritage Day, Wednesday 24 September 2025, was once again a huge success. While some took to the track, others enjoyed catching up with neighbours and friends. The kids kept the jumping castle busy, the dogs were on their very best behaviour and – thanks to their responsible owners – left nothing behind but smiles. Cupcakes, boerie rolls, and a variety of hot and cold drinks added to the cheerful atmosphere.
The morning ended on a high note with our raffle draw, where the lucky winners walked away with:
- a large bag of dog food, sponsored by Blouberg Vet
- 1 kg of coffee beans from George’s Coffee Bar
- a generous voucher from International Hair Extension
- two underarm laser treatments from LS Therapy
- a carpet-cleaning voucher from West Coast Cleaners
- plus braai wood, fire starters and a lovely sun hat kindly donated by members of the Brander Park community.
The Friends of Brander Park Committee would like to express their heartfelt thanks to all our neighbours, friends, sponsors and supporters for making the morning such a success. Special thanks go to George’s Coffee Bar for once again sponsoring coffee vouchers for those completing nine laps as well as to SRG for their presence, and for contributing sweetie packs and balloons for the kids.
The generosity of the community helps keep our favourite green space well-maintained and welcoming for everyone to enjoy.
We look forward to doing it all again next year – same place, same spirit, same community!

Brander Park Fun Walk, 24 Sept 2024
The first major event organised by the newly formed Friends of Brander Park took place on Heritage Day 2024 and it could not have been more successful! More than 40 neighbours took up our invitation to walk laps around the park, in some cases accompanied by their happy and well-behaved family dogs. Nine laps earned each walker a free coffee. Two bouncy castles kept the children entertained. Spot prizes, goody bags and cupcakes were on sale to keep walkers and visitors in good spirits. The lucky winner Braai Day Hamper was announced and there was an additional draw for a free bag of dog food. In keeping with the nature of the day, we also a had braai going. The delicious boerewors rolls sold out quickly. We were truly overwhelmed by the support of the entire community!
A big thank you to all the helpers, supporters and of course our sponsors Georges Coffee Bar, Blouberg Vet and L&S Therapy.

Support the park and have a chance to win! Our raffles are very popular and really are a win-win-win situation: They help us raise funds, at least one person gets the chance to take home a great prize, and everyone who takes part gets to feel the excitement and anticipation of a possible win.
The Raffles would not be possible without the support of our amazing sponsors, including Blouberg Vet for the Dog Food Raffle and Maloney’s Butchery Cafe for the Braai Day Hamper.
