Jan Cilliers Park Picnic Spots. The Park is set in the affluent green suburb of Groenkloof, Pretoria. It is one of the oldest parks in Pretoria, and was designed by Harry Bruins-Lich, Pretoria Parks Director for 25 years. This tranquil park is popular for families picknicking on the lawns, neighbours walking their dogs, joggers keeping fit and botanists interested in the indigenous plant species.
