Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo (JCPZ), the City of Johannesburg’s entity responsible for greening, horticultural, and maintenance services, has implemented targeted maintenance schedules to address seasonal backlogs caused by recent heavy rains.

JCPZ oversees more than 20,000 hectares of green open spaces across Johannesburg, including flagship parks, conservation areas, a botanic garden, 134 conservation sites, 38 cemeteries, 3 crematoria, and the Joburg Zoo. This vast network also includes an estimated 3.6 million street trees, wetlands, water bodies, river trails, and the ongoing management of invasive plant species.
