Much more enjoyable and feeling better about bringing there children and families therw to enjoy the PRIVILEGE OF BEING ABLE TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER AT THE LAKE. EVERYONE HAS TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVES AT THE FLATS AND AROUND THE LAKE IN CONSIDERATION AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN RUBBISH AND TO AVOID TO BE TO LOUD AND MUSIC NOT TO LOUD AND NOT TO COME THERE AND GET WASTED AND BEGINS TO ARGUE AND START MAKING UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS. BUT A BIG THANKS TO ALL CPF NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH AND THE CAPTAIN OF FLORIDA POLICE STATION THAT ALSO PATROLLING THE LAKE AND THE EFFORT THEY ARE PUTTING in TO INSURE the SAFETY FOR THE RESIDENTS AND PEOPLE THATS ENJOYING FISHING AT THE LAKE. VERY APPRECIATED ON BEHALF OF ALL THE ANGLERS AND BENS CORNER FISHING SHOP FOR KEEPING OUR ANGLERS SAFE AND WE ALL ARE SEEING THE DIFFERENCE YOU GUYS MADE AS WELL AS APCAN, HELP 24 SECURITY and all the security companies thats involved with the patrolling. We see the efforts and already the affective results and comfort we experience with safety issues. Thanks a million we appreciate the differences you have made already.

One of the best places to fo refresh your mind,.. open nature is always good and healthy and the good thing about it is that it is free just to sit there have a nice chilas and braai ,.. and also to have a wonderful picnic with your friends or family even a date will do ,.. most times it is so quite and clean well maintained and taken good care off,.. just the sound of water and ducks floating around some people just go there to chill and refresh their mind some just ,.. go fishing or move around with a boat , .. some people just do a brai and play music while hanging there with friends its a nice place to be,..open for the public

However, it’s worth noting that during peak tourist seasons, the lake can get quite busy, and finding a quiet spot may require some patience. Additionally, while the lake itself is beautiful, the nearby urban development can occasionally detract from the natural ambiance. Overall, Florida Lake is a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or an outdoor escapade, this enchanting destination has something to offer. I highly recommend adding Florida Lake to your travel itinerary if you’re in search of a serene paradise amidst Florida’s natural wonders.

  • Marco Brown

All round undesirable place. Very dirty and in utter disrepair. Rubbish and broken glass all over. Lake very polluted on eastern side and reeks of rotten water. Some birds in pain and despair due to injury caused by strings caught on their paws and other injuries caused by waste in the lake. Truly a shame that Joburg City Parks in particular and the city administration in general have allowed this and many other parks to deteriorate to this level.

  • Anver Dawood

Took the grand children there to feed the ducks, which they really enjoyed. It's a pity there is no law and order anymore. People sitting and drinking alcohol with their car doors open and the music full blast. It's was such a nice place where one could just sit at the water's edge and relax

  • king tut

Sad to see how the area around the lake has deteriorated. Many foreigners have moved into the area devaluing the property around the lake. People parking around the lake consuming alcohol and drugs and leaving their bottles behind. So sad.

  • jean labuschagne

Its reasonable good fishing spot on the one side of the dam membership is required to fish on the quiet side of the dam, as far as the side for families its not clean the water is full of litter and up keep is poor

  • Krish Singh

Very nice to come and relax and for family time only some parts of the lake needs to be cleaned and do not allow car's inside because they can't look after the place leaving their Dirt behind. …

  • Louis Swarts

Nice fishing area for club members. Other areas around lake also offer some nice fishing spots. Fish include carp, bass, barbell and perch. No public restrooms and not very safe to fish alone over night.

  • Phumulani Mazwabo

Lake Florida is a nice place to relax for a picnic or a barbeque with family and friends. The lake boasts of massive waterfowl and there is canoeing classes for kids free of charge on weekends.

  • Evelyn Rose Jenzer

I love this place, what makes it sad is that people drive along Swan Stree without a care for the Ducks and birds. And ride over them. I wish they would hate the area, or put speed bump up.

  • Daiyaan Warries
