Rhodes Park is a popular public park located in Kensington, Johannesburg, known for its scenic beauty, recreational facilities, and rich history. Covering approximately 26 hectares, the park features sprawling green lawns, beautiful gardens, and a tranquil lake, making it a favoured spot for families, joggers, and nature lovers in the area.
Named after the British colonialist Cecil John Rhodes, Rhodes Park was established in the early 20th century as part of a wave of green spaces developed in Johannesburg. Kensington itself was one of Johannesburg’s first suburbs, and the park served as a central recreational area for residents. With its mature trees and historic character, Rhodes Park retains an old-world charm that reflects its heritage and long-standing presence in the community.
One of the park's notable attractions is the Rhodes Park Swimming Pool, which offers a refreshing escape during the warmer months. The park is also home to several historical monuments and sculptures that celebrate its heritage and the history of Johannesburg.
Rhodes Park offers various facilities for visitors, including:
Lake and Duck Pond: A scenic lake and pond area is home to ducks and other bird species, creating a relaxing atmosphere for picnics and family outings.
Children's Playground: The park has a well-maintained playground area for children, making it a popular family destination.
Tennis Courts and Sports Fields: Rhodes Park also includes tennis courts, a soccer field, and other sports facilities, appealing to a range of recreational activities.
Walking Paths and Gardens: The park has walking paths that wind through landscaped gardens, providing a serene environment for walks and jogs.
Rhodes Park Library: Adjacent to the park is the Kensington Library, adding an educational dimension to the area.
Rhodes Park Swimming Pool: A small entrance fee of R6 for children and R20 for adults (2024).
