Route 67 in Gqeberha is widely appreciated for its impressive collection of public art and its deep historical roots. Visitors frequently describe the art pieces as 'immaculate' and 'unique,' noting that the trail provides a fascinating look into the heritage of the Eastern Cape. The experience is generally quiet and uncrowded, allowing for a quick 15 to 20-minute walk to appreciate the installations. However, the sentiment is tempered by recurring safety warnings regarding the neighborhood. Some reviewers mention being cautioned against walking in the park, while others report aggressive attempts at extortion by individuals pretending to be security. Overall, while the art is considered a marvel, visitors are urged to stay alert and perhaps visit in groups or by car.
