  abstract = {{T}his paper reveals the relational, multi-layered constructions and boundaries of park spaces and who the users of the {T}able {M}ountain {N}ational {P}ark ({TMNP}) in {C}ape {T}own are. {A}ccess to {TMNP} is discussed within its urban metropolitan context and the role {T}able {M}ountain has played in {C}apetonians representations of the mountain through different eras the colonial, apartheid and post-apartheid. {T}he formidable challenge to the park management, with. visitor numbers of around 3 million annually, is to provide a high-quality recreational and tourist experience without compromising the ecological integrity of the park and making sure that the park is accessible to all. {H}owever, the {D}ecember 2007 to {N}ovember 2008 {TMNP} survey found that the park is a recreational space for the affluent. {M}ost visitors to the park are from high-income neighbouring suburbs. {I}ssues of use of and access to the park by visitors vary greatly and typically reflect the duality of the legacy of apartheid planning. {I}f most of the {S}outh {A}frican population is largely invisible in the {TMNP} (and other national parks), questions arise about the parks' future relevance, meaning, and protection.},
