Cecilia Park
Cecilia Park is a stretch of land on the lower eastern slopes of Table Mountain in Cape Town, located just to the south of Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.
It was previously used for commercial logging, but has now been given protected status and integrated into Table Mountain National Park.〔http://www.sanparks.org/parks/table_mountain/library/2006/tokai_cecilia/annexC.pdf〕〔http://dombeya.sanparks.org/parks/table_mountain/about/2007/cecilia.php〕
==Name==
It is not known what the original Khoisan inhabitants called this particular piece of land, but the early Dutch settlers knew these slopes as ''"Boschenheuwel"''. The name ''"Cecilia"'' derives from the first name of Cecil Rhodes who at one point owned the land.
The park is often known as "Cecilia Forest" due to the large commercial plantations that have occupied this land. However, this name confusingly also refers to the far larger indigenous forests that occupy the high slopes north of Kirstenbosch. Consequently the decision was taken to remove this confusion by renaming the southern piece of land "Cecilia Park" to emphasise its protected status and intended recreational use by the surrounding population.
