Our Features
With National Museum scientists the Friends were able to identify more that 998 species from the park. This is significant given the small size of the park and underlines how important it is as a resource for conservation and of public awareness around biodiversity.The tiny, evergreen upland forest of City Park is home to troops of Skykes Monkeys, Silvery-cheeked Hornbills and hundreds of beautiful butterflies. This forest is the most precious natural resource currently protected in City Park and a true treasure for the people of Nairobi.The famous Bandstand on the Park’s Central Lawn has been the setting for numerous historic outdoor performances and diplomatic receptions. Other amenities, such as the Bowling Green (now an outdoor restaurant) and the Maze, located in the southeastern corner of the park, affectionately known as Mtego wa Panya (the ‘Rat-Trap’), attest to the Park’s long history as a focal point for public recreation.
