ABOUT THE TRUST
Rooted in Service Since 1932
The Park Rynie Social, Recreational & Educational Trust operates under the Park Rynie Civic Association. Its origins date back to 1932 with the Park Rynie Indian Ratepayers Association, later renamed after 1994.
The Trust was formed in 1956 to develop social, cultural, and educational facilities for the community.
OUR HERITAGE
A Legacy Preserved Through Generations
During apartheid, the community lacked essential facilities. Lot 402 was acquired through community effort and support.
Although development was delayed for decades, the vision remained alive through generations — carried forward by faith, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to community.
