One of the iconic frames, a feature found across Cape Town, has been unveiled at Camoens Park in Monte Vista. Visitors to the public open space will now be able to snap their photographs with Table Mountain, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, as their backdrop.
The frame is a project of the Monte Vista and Plattekloof Glen Ratepayers’ Association.
“With Camoens Park in the heart of Monte Vista being the flagship park in Ward 1, we as the Monte Vista and Plattekloof Glen Ratepayers’ Association decided that with Monte Vista’s meaning being ‘mountain view’ there was no better position in the ward to capture Table Mountain and have some fun with the family than here,” said Tyrel Painczyk, chair of the association.
Special thanks, he said, go to Lee Middleton, a resident and member of the association’s committee, who built the frame and was an integral part of bringing this vision to light.
“The City’s recreation and parks department adopted this frame after we supplied the necessary engineering signoff documents, and we need to thank Carol de Beer, our resident architect, for her valued assistance through this process,” said Painczyk. “We really hope and am sure that families across the ward will enjoy this new addition to the park.”
Elsewhere, similar frames can be found at the V&A Waterfront, Eden on the Bay at Big Bay, Silo District, Cape Town Railway Station, District Six, Lookout Hill in Khayelitsha and Signal Hill, according to secretcapetown.co.za
