Pimville can be placed in context for trip planning through local sports and outdoor activities, as well as golf. The broader destination of City Of Johannesburg also offers museums, history and larger green spaces.

Sports and Outdoors in Pimville

The Klipspruit Multipurpose Centre is next to the Sharpa Nike Centre.

When Pimville Xtreme Park opened, a basketball court and a mini soccer field were built. The facilities at the time also included paved paths, landscaped picnic areas and braai facilities. At the time of opening, the facilities combined sports areas with paths and places to relax. As these features describe the opening period, check before your visit whether the areas important to you are usable today.

Soweto Country Club is a golf course in Pimville. If golf is your focus, the club offers a clear local connection; Xtreme Park offers a different emphasis on sports and outdoor activities.

Culture and Nature in the Broader Destination of City Of Johannesburg

The Apartheid Museum illustrates the rise and fall of apartheid. Its permanent exhibition traces South Africa’s history from the dark days of oppression to a place of healing shaped by democratic principles. Constitution Hill is home to the Constitutional Court of South Africa. As a living museum, it tells the story of South Africa’s journey to democracy. For getting around the broader destination of City Of Johannesburg, two tour formats offer different details: the Welcome Johannesburg Walking Tour lasts two hours and covers just over one kilometre; the City Sightseeing Bus operates as a hop-on hop-off tour through Johannesburg and Soweto. The bus routes and stops may change; check the latest information before travelling.

The interactive exhibits at the Origins Centre explore the origins of humanity in Africa, as well as the development of technology, art, culture and symbolism. They also explore South Africa’s diverse rock art traditions. The Hector Pieterson Memorial and Museum in Orlando West, Soweto, commemorates the schoolchildren who took part in the 1976 Soweto Uprising. Soweto Country Club also has a historical connection to the area: it was founded in 1974 as the first golf club in Soweto.

Nature enthusiasts can choose between different landscapes. The Johannesburg Botanical Garden is an 81-hectare green space used by runners, picnickers and dog owners. The Johannesburg Botanical Gardens are open from sunrise to sunset and have parking at several entrances. As access arrangements may change, check the latest information before your visit. The Wilds Nature Reserve offers 16 hectares of indigenous vegetation on rocky koppies in Houghton. The comparison is therefore between a large garden used by a range of visitors and a smaller reserve with a rocky landscape.
