About

Willow Park, known locally as Willows Wilderness Park, is a community-maintained green space on Sycamore Drive in Dowerglen, Edenvale, on Johannesburg's East Rand side. It opens early, from 6am to 7pm, and residents use it for morning walks, family picnics and letting children run around. It is regularly listed among Johannesburg's dog-friendly parks, and visitor reviews describe it as safe, clean and pet friendly, kept up by a local community group rather than the city parks department.
