Grassy Park is a suburb of the City of Cape Town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.

It is bordered to the east by the suburb of Lotus River, to the north by the suburb of Parkwood and to the west by a small lake called Princess Vlei. To the south lies Rondevlei and Zeekoevlei. The Rondevlei Nature Reserve is home to a very shy hippopotamus, a few eland and other mostly nocturnal animals including many caracal and porcupine. Rondevlei is also home to a healthy pelican community.^[2] Zeekoevlei is one of the many freshwater lakes in the district.
