===Environment=== {{unreferencedsect|date=July 2024}} Robinson Lake is situated between the Randfontein Golf Course and the suburb of Robin Park. The lake was a former recreational lake filled from water that has been pumped from the Robinson Deep gold mine. The lake has a pH of 2.6. Water has a natural [[uranium]] concentration of 0.0004 mg/L. The [[Department of Water and Sanitation]] considers a concentration of 0.07 mg/L safe to drink. Robinson Lake has a uranium concentration of 16 mg/L which is more than 220 times safe levels. This has resulted in Robinson Lake being declared a radioactive area and it is closed off to the public. The general consensus is that this has been caused by [[acid mine drainage]]. It is also however now a dangerous area and nothing is being done about the number of people accessing it.
