History of Nyoni Park
NRP was operational between the 70s through to the early 90s, when it was closed due to violence and bloodshed that occurred almost on a weekly basis.
The park became a source of pain for the community of Kathorus and was closed by Katlehong Town Council.
Today, NRP brings new life and hope to the Kathorus community, providing recreational activities that ascertain social cohesion. The park serves the community of Kathorus and its tourist.
