Further enhancing the shopping experience, Fourways Mall has upgraded its northern parking deck at the entertainment entrance, featuring four new traffic lanes, better lighting, clearer signage, and colour-coded parking levels to improve traffic flow and navigation.

Additionally, the recently launched VIP parking area offers customers wider bays, enhanced lighting, and easy access to popular tenants like Woolworths, at no extra cost—demonstrating the mall’s commitment to providing added value for visitors.
