13/05/2013 - There is a new fence up along the southern boundary of Grysbok Park. This will prevent papers plastic bags and other litter being blown into the Reserve from the Flea Market which operates on the weekends.
Also a number of shrubs were removed near the pathway edge for public safety in Grysbok Park
and chipped onto the pathway to prevent the soil erosion.

The excellent pathway with new chippings laid.

The pathway verge has been cleared and chipped. The chippings have been spread onto
the pathway to stop the soil erosion.

The Muizenberg flea market operates on the otherside of Royal Road most weekends.
The fence will also prevent cars being parked in the Reserve.
