| • | Pinelands is a "garden city" suburb located in the southern suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa. The suburb is primarily residential and is often praised for its peacefulness and abundance of trees. The pine trees gave it its name and no alcohol is sold in Pinelands by law.
The main road is Forest Drive and the suburb contains two small shopping centres named Howard Centre (named after Ebenezer Howard who led the garden city movement) and Central Square. The first thatched house built in Pinelands is in Mead Way near Central Square dating from the 1920s. These were declared national monuments in 1983. New thatched rooves have not been permitted due to the fire hazard for many years.Pinelands is served by two railway stations, Pinelands Station in the south and Mutual Station in the north. The suburb is bisected from the north east to the south west by the Elsieskraal River, which has flowed through a large concrete drainage canal since the 1960s. The postcode for Pinelands is 7405.
