The Parys Wetland park is located in Parys, Free State, South Africa. This urban wetland, owned by the Ngwathe Local Municipality, is located in the center of town, connecting the CBD, industrial area, and communities from the surrounding suburbs. The rehabilitation and conservation of the Parys Wetland Park is ongoing and privately funded by corporate investors and local community. Registered as a non-profit company, the local Wetland Park Committee works closely with local authorities, community, local business and industries to preserve and transform this previously neglected landscape into a diverse, inclusive, and sustainable ecosystem.
