Capital Park is one of Pretoria’s oldest suburbs, developed around 1900 alongside the city’s railway workshops and marshalling yards just north of the CBD.
A historic railway suburb
Capital Park’s identity is bound up with Pretoria’s rail history — the suburb grew to house railway workers and their families, and its street grid and older worker-cottage-style homes still reflect that origin more than a century later. It sits close to the Pretoria showgrounds and the Wonderboom area, giving residents easy access to both the CBD and the northern suburbs.
DStv installation in Capital Park
Capital Park’s older, closely-built homes get a standard single-view install — 60cm dish, Smart LNB, RG6 cabling — with mounting checked against each property’s specific roofline given the suburb’s older housing stock.
Signal repairs, Extra View and equipment
Capital Park follows the standard Highveld rain-fade pattern. On the suburb’s older homes we check existing cabling before assuming a fault requires new equipment. Standard equipment is a 60cm dish and Smart LNB with RG6 cabling.
