Canal Walk is a shopping centre in Cape Town, South Africa, that opened in 2000 and was built around a canal. It has a total retail area of 141,000-square-metre (1,520,000 sq ft). The centre forms the heart of a mixed-use development known as Century City, which includes office blocks, residential areas and the Ratanga Junction theme park. On 1st June 2016 it was announced by the park that it will be closing its doors closer to around 2018 due to the theme park not being as profitable as when it opened in 2000.
