Points of interest
- Zita Park is public park which is frequented by families and children.[3][4] It has well maintained facilities including a paddling pool, water slide, playground equipment, ablution facilities and a tuck shop. According to an article in Pretoria News on August 10, 2006,[citation needed] the park was established on the location of a cemetery for the black community formerly living there. The Eastwood Location was established as a black community on 1905, but under the proclamation of the Group Areas Act of 1950 the area was designated as a white area and resulted in the removal of the black residents.
