Mollergren Park

Mollergren Park is a beloved legacy project of the Rotary Club of Hermanus, made possible by the bequest of Mr Albert Bearnhard Mollergren in 1968. Determined to help elderly and needy residents in our town, Mr Mollergren donated his sea-front land and resources to establish assisted living accommodation under Rotary’s care. To this day, Rotary carries forward his vision. The Park offers accommodation for seniors who need support yet still value dignity, companionship, and a familiar community environment. There is an on-site clinic, communal spaces, landscaped grounds, and meeting facilities that also serve as the Rotary clubhouse and gathering place for community events. With around 36 residents (in 25 accommodation units), Mollergren Park remains a central pillar of Rotary’s service to the elderly. Our club meets weekly at Mollergren Park, underscoring our hands-on involvement in its upkeep, care, and evolution. While the facility is focused on care for its residents,
