ABOUT GUGU DLAMINI PARK What is, essentially, a roof garden above the Workshop in the centre of Durban, the Gugu Dlamini Park (formerly Central Park) was named on World Aids Day, 1 December 2000, in tribute to Gugu Dlamini for breaking the silence on Aids in South Africa. NEED TO KNOW WHERE Gugu Dlamini Park, Samora Machel Street, Central Durban, Durban, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa WHEN Best during daylight hours. Please note: The park is not always safe. There is a high prevalence of street kids and vagrants, so take care when walking alone. OVERNIGHT Stay in Durban Accommodation, KwaZulu Natal

I call this the people's park, in the middle of it all. From here one can easily tell where is what part of the city. Close to the city center, Hilton hotel/SABC Durban, Durban station. Not too far to the beach nor the market or the municipality services areas. Most of all it's mostly clean and somewhat safe since the police office is nearby. Oh and THE WORKSHOP is right here for refreshments, some shopping and rest rooms

  • Mlindeni Mtshali

The park Gugu Dlamini was named after "Gugu" a women who was stoned and killed by community after she came forward and admitted she was "HIV Positive" The park is wonderful a good place to bring the family from kids to the older mambers of the family.the shop are clse by to grab a snacks while you chilling in the park,ice cream is available when the sun is hot,cold drinks and also music.

  • Pamela Zondi

This park used to be one of the best parks in Durban, with beautiful flowers all year round. I haven't seen a single flower being planted in the past 3 years. It is now known as the most dangerous park in Durban full of "paras" who are harassing people on a daily basis. It is an eyesore especially to visitors both domestic and international.

The place is in the heart of the city, after exploring durban city centre you can come sit and relax on the green grass of the workshop, doves flying and picking up left overs, viewing Hilton and City Hall while lying with your back on the grass.
