Mofolo Park — Attraction in Johannesburg Ward 36

Mofolo Park, previously known to locals as the 5 Roses Bowl, has been revived. A great place for a picnic or a performances that require a stage, much better because it has a permanent stage. Our dj for the day placed their sets on the stage. But yhey required a gazebo to block the sun in the afternoon because the bowl faces the west of park & it's too sunny, although a plus for the spectators or public who'd be dancing & facing away from the sun in the open space.

The space itself is lovely, just needs more maintenance cause it could be way better. It's child friendly but that slide is dangerous, they could have made it more safer for kids. That's just my 2cents....
