Even these two are not open for everyone as they sell alcohol and are not ideal for people who do not take alcohol, especially the youth who are under 18-years, as the law does not permit them to access places selling alcohol.
In the past, Gaborone City Council spent thousands of Pula building recreational parks around the city to be used by the public during their leisure time. However these parks have long since become white elephants and rather, hubs for criminal activities. To make matters worse, the equipment in such places has been vandalised because there does not seem to be anyone responsible for looking after it, in maintenance or repairs. The public is not even interested in using these places for recreation because they have been turned into garbage areas, littered with all sorts of dirt including used condoms, plastic containers and to top it all, overgrown vegetation. Truth be told, no recreation activity can take place under such conditions.
