Play Park

Except for the sandpit, the upgrade of the Play Park has been completed.  Although the Play Park will only be officially commissioned at the end of the last school term in December 2025, it is already open for children to enjoy.

Parents are kindly requested not to leave small children unattended at the Play Park.

Any suggestions or innovative ideas can be shared with Adéle du Plessis telephone no 082 391 8025.

A word of thanks also goes to Andrew and Sue Wilken for the very cool flag, which will be displayed occasionally at the Play Park.

Any member of the CRRA may also nominate a suitable candidate, with the nominee’s consent.  To ensure the committee functions effectively as a team, members should preferably reside permanently in Cannon Rocks.

Your cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Water Management 

During the past months, Boknesstrand and Cannon Rocks have experienced serious water-related problems due to various causes.  These issues have given rise to a wide range of speculations, opinions, and accusations, many of which do not always accurately reflect the true situation and may be based on hearsay.

The Boknesstrand and Cannon Rocks Ratepayers Associations have therefore decided to compile a joint feedback report to residents, explaining the situation/circumstances and outlining possible remedial actions.

Information regarding the Cannon Rocks and Boknesstrand and Alexandria water reticulation system is available on CRRA website – www.cannonrocks.com Cannon Rocks, Eastern Cape, South Africa under – News.
