Ivory Park is occupied by more than 182 000 black people and is located in the town of Midrand in the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. It is situated very close to the township of Tembisa in the neighbouring City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and is usually but inaccurately treated as being part of it. Services in Ivory Park have improved since the early 1990s. It has five clinics, eight schools, a police station, two libraries and is served by the popular Voice of Tembisa FM community radio station.
