De Waal Park was Cape Town’s first and largest public park after the Company’s Gardens when it was opened in 1895.In 1877 the City Council of Cape Town purchased land from the Van Breda family who owned the farm Oranjezigt. They divided the land into three parts first building the two smaller reservoirs below Camp Street and then building the Molteno Reservoir below Belvedere Road which also provided the city with electricity.
