Pines Resort Krugersdorp is one of Johannesburg’s most popular family outdoor destinations — a beloved water park, adventure resort, and private event venue in Silverfields, Krugersdorp, with over 159,000 Facebook followers and 37,000+ check-ins from families who return year after year for water slides, braai days, and warm Highveld memories. Located at 2 Ivan Smuts Avenue, Pines Resort Krugersdorp operates as a bring-your-own-food outdoor resort where families can enjoy a full day of water play, outdoor dining, and adventure activities at an accessible price point — without the expense of resort catering.

Why Pines Resort Krugersdorp Is a Joburg Family Favourite

What sets Pines Resort Krugersdorp apart from other Gauteng water parks is its combination of freedom and affordability. Guests are welcome to bring their own picnic food, soft drinks, and cooler boxes (checked on entry), meaning a full family day out doesn’t require an expensive on-site food spend. Every picnic spot comes with its own braai stand, shade umbrella, and a relaxed atmosphere where families genuinely unwind — while those who prefer not to cook can purchase takeaways and cold drinks from the Pines Resort bar and shop on-site.

Open from September through April on weekends and public holidays (with extended hours through December), Pines Resort Krugersdorp is Joburg’s go-to summer day out — positioned as a hidden gem by those who’ve discovered it, and consistently praised for clean pools, neat bathrooms, and well-maintained facilities.

Water Park Facilities

Pines Resort Krugersdorp offers a full water park experience suitable for all ages:

• Swimming pools — family pools with qualified lifeguards always on duty
• Water slides — thrilling slides for older children and adults
• Splash Pad — a dedicated water play area for younger children
• Toddler pools — safe, shallow pools for the little ones
• Mini slides — age-appropriate slides for younger guests
• Tipping buckets — a firm favourite for kids of all ages
• Jumping castle — added fun for younger guests

All water activities are supervised by qualified lifeguards. Safety is a priority — children must be supervised by an adult at all times, and all activities are undertaken at the guest’s own risk.
