4worldlovers: Nothing beats a sunny South African summer’s day, except spending it outdoors in Waterfall City. Go for a run, ride your bike, play footy with your mates or practise your golf swing. Just relax and enjoy the wide open spaces and fresh Waterfall City air.

A choreographed musical fountain, illuminated at night with 64 coloured lights, welcomes you to the 1,2 hectare Waterfall City Park. Picnic under shade trees, enjoy your lunch break on the park benches, or attend one of the many events hosted in the park. You can even book the park for your own event.

Calling all sporty early risers. If you like the idea of getting up early on a Saturday morning for an easy 5km walk, jog or run, then Waterfall parkrun should be right up your alley. Parkrun is a free, weekly community event that has become popular the world over. The Waterfall parkrun takes place every Saturday morning at 08:00, at Waterfall City Park next to Mall of Africa. See you there!

Work on your swing, or practise pitching or putting. Whatever your pleasure, the biggest golf practice facility in the southern hemisphere is waiting for you in Waterfall City. With a mashie course designed by Gary Player, 12 different practice areas and 190 hitting bays, it even features a Gary Player Golf Experience teaching academy. If golf is your game, this is where you need to be. And even if it isn’t, the fitness centre, Nike retail outlet, spa, kiddies play area, family restaurant and conference facilities make for a great day out. Go on, take a swing.

Selfies turn out so much better when you have something awesome in the background and Mall of Africa has a couple of great selfie spots. Besides the amazing architecture of the mall itself, you shouldn’t miss the impressive PwC Tower — the only twisted tower in Africa, which you can use as a breathtaking backdrop from the Town Square. But the mall’s most Insta-worthy spot must be the incredible twin Africa sculptures in the courtyard outside Tasha’s. Called “There is no time like the present”, this art installation features two 5,5m high sculptures, which represent two faces of the African continent — one rooted in tradition, and one rooted in the modern world, reflecting the wealth of opportunity and potential that lies within us. Meaningful and a brilliant selfie setting!

Another hot Waterfall City selfie spot must be the Novartis staircase by Chris Valentine, located on Magwa Crescent. The vibrant staircase is bound to stop you dead in your tracks and is the perfect backdrop for your impromptu photoshoot, while you wait on the Gautrain bus.

Good news 4×4 adventurers! Now you can put your off-road driving skills to the test without leaving the city. The 4 600m2 BMW xDrive Park next to Waterfall City Park features 1,3 kilometres of off-road track, designed to showcase the BMW xDrive system within all BMW X models.

No problem — simply book a driving course to experience the thrill of driving across rocks, logs, water, soft sand and more. It’s an adventure for the whole family and just the beginning of your experience with BMW.
