St George's Park
St George's Park has been a recreational centre for the city for
more than 150 years, boasting well-landscaped gardens covering 73
hectares. On site is the world famous Port Elizabeth Cricket Club,
scene of many an exciting test match series, and the oldest bowling
green in South Africa. The park also features the 1882 Edwardian
Pearson Conservatory, a national monument filled with orchids,
water lilies and other exotic plants. Every second Sunday of the
month the park plays host to a vibrant arts and crafts fair. The
other major park in Port Elizabeth is Settler's Park, set in the
Baakens River valley, which boasts indigenous flora and fauna and
offers a delightful stroll along the riverbank.
Information & Facts
Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
