About Emmarentia

The pretty, established suburb of Emmarentia lies between Linden and Greenside, right in the heart of the northern suburbs of Johannesburg . Emmarentia's residents regard Emmarentia as the “green heart” of the city due to the high density of established tree-lined avenues, and Emmarentia is, in effect, a green lung of Johannesburg.

Emmarentia , which incorporates Emmarentia Ridge and Emmarentia extension 1, includes within its boundaries Emmarentia dam, the Botanical Gardens, Melville Koppies and Marks park cricket club.

The best parts of Emmarentia are without a doubt the National Botanical Gardens and the dam. There is a host of birdlife and plants in this lush green area that is very popular with dog walkers. Picnicking under shade trees is a weekend pastime, whilst the gardens are often used for wedding photographs. There are beautiful rose gardens, a herb garden, indigenous trees and succulents. It isn't hard to imagine why the gardens were voted the best passive recreation space in the city in 2004, or why Emmarentia brings to mind green, open spaces in the midst of the hurly burly.
