Donkin Reserve

Nestled on a hilltop in Port Elizabeth, the Donkin Reserve offers panoramic views of the city and is a testament to its rich history. Established by Sir Rufane Donkin, who founded Port Elizabeth and named it after his late wife, the reserve features a steep brick pyramid known as the Donkin Memorial, built in her honor. The park also includes a lush green space, a vast mosaic, a giant flag, and a 19th-century lighthouse. Visitors can explore these landmarks while enjoying the scenic vistas, making it a notable spot for both history enthusiasts and nature lovers.
