Cape Town sport and recreation programme policy

The City of Cape Town’s "Sport, Recreation and Amenities Department has committed over 80 staff members and millions of rands to provide recreation programmes for young and old. This investment forms part of the department’s new Policy on Recreation Programmes which was adopted at the last City Council meeting", on 28 January 2016.

"The development of recreation hubs is a key outcome in the Department’s recreation strategy.

Currently there are 55 established hubs throughout Cape Town, where over 12 000 people of all ages participate in recreation programmes weekly.

Recreation hubs have planned recreational activities for at least five days a week and at least three hours per day. Each hub has a dedicated team of play leaders involved in the delivery of recreation programmes aimed at getting communities mentally and physically active."
