including the Ladies Free State Open and Senior Tour Pro-

Activities at Heron Banks extend far beyond just golf and
water sports. Join a crowd and enjoy the wide-open spaces
of estate living at one of the many organised parkruns, or
take to the BMX trails for your daily exercise. Children can
be children in the safety of the play facilities provided by the
estate, or you can take the entire family to the popular Sienna
Fair on weekends. Heron Banks also plays host to the South
African Million Dollar Pigeon Race in which pigeon fanciers
(including Britain’s ruling monarch) from all around the world
compete in this prestigious annual event.

The estate boasts 24-hour security with a perimeter fence,
strict access control and internal patrols throughout the day.
Furthermore, a dedicated on-site estate management team
takes care of day-to-day issues and maintenance.
Even with the estate seemingly tucked away in the middle
of nowhere, there are many top local amenities in close
proximity. For residents with children there are numerous
schools in the area, the closest being Vaal Park Primary School,
Laerskool Emfulenipark and Vaalpark Articon Secondary
School. The Vaal Mall is close by for all shopping needs, and
for those feeling lucky, there is the Emerald Casino, which
offers everything from a vast array of entertainment for kids
to gambling.
