Alfred Park is a small (8.4 ha) wetland swamp forest in New Germany, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.[1] [2] It is managed by the Ethekwini Municipality.[3]
The park is noted for its frog population, including reed frogs, various tree frogs, and the rare argus reed frog.[4] There are picnic areas and self-guided trails in the park.
The park is currently under threat from alien invasive species, especially the Pickerel weed, which has impacted the frog population.[5]
