Mushroom Farm Park, tucked away in the heart of Sandton, Johannesburg, is a peaceful green retreat that provides a welcome escape from the city’s gleaming high-rises and fast pace. Once the site of an old mushroom farm, the park has been transformed into a modern urban oasis, offering well-kept lawns, shaded pathways, and a relaxed atmosphere that attracts families, joggers, dog walkers, and office workers seeking a breath of fresh air. Despite its location amid the financial district, the park feels distinctly tranquil, with open spaces that invite picnics, strolls, and quiet moments beneath the trees.
One of the park’s most eye-catching features was the Hyundai Hot Air Balloon, a tethered balloon that gently lifted passengers above Sandton to enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the Johannesburg skyline. It was a favourite activity for both visitors and locals, offering a fresh perspective on the city. The park also features a children’s play area, outdoor gym equipment, walking and cycling paths, and picnic spots that make it ideal for relaxed weekend outings or lunchtime breaks.
Mushroom Farm Park has become one of Sandton’s most cherished public spaces, an appealing blend of urban convenience and natural calm. Whether you visit for a jog at sunrise, a family picnic, or a quiet afternoon in the shade, it captures a side of Sandton where leisure and community flourish amidst the city’s energy.
