Alberts Farm Conservancy
* About 90ha of small rocky ridges
* undulating grassland stretching down to the wetland area along the Montgomery Spruit
* The area is ideal for dog walking and kite flying while the more avid walker might enjoy exploring the spruit downstream to where it joins up with the Braamfontein Spruit
* About 139 different bird species have been spotted in the conservancy, which has a red data plant and a swathe of natural Transvaal grass.
* A network of paths weave their web across the conservancy and an hour of exploration will be well worth while.
* Some lovely small dams and patches of cool, wooded areas.
* There is also a lovely spring that rises in a rocky area of the park
Alberts farm is also used on occasions by Orienteering clubs and by church groups who hold their services in the park. Dogs are welcome but bye-laws stipulates that they should be kept on leads.
