About Us

Uhuru Park contains an artificial lake, several national monuments, and an assembly ground which has become a popular skateboarding spot on weekends and also a location for local skateboarding competitions (best trick contest 2017), catering to Nairobi’s growing skate scene.Apart from skateboarding, the assembly ground is used for occasional political and religious gatherings. It is infamous as the site where protest against illegal land grabbing was violently broken up by the Moi regime.In 1989, Wangari Maathai and many of her followers held a protest at the park, attempting to stop the construction of the 60-storey Kenya Times Media Trust business complex. She was forced by the government to vacate her office and was vilified in parliament, but her protests and the government’s response led foreign investors to cancel the project.

it is easily accessible, and activities to do are very affordable.

Most people would agree that parks are the best place to relax, have a good time, and enjoy the natural beauty. I visited the Uhuru park some time back with my sisters. I enjoyed the whole experience from the boat riding, which was the best experience I’ve ever had in a while. My sisters were so happy, and they loved the whole experience entirely. If you are hungry, the places sell some fantastic food and ice creams on the street. If you love camel and horse riding, this park has you covered. It is an excellent place to take kids to play and meet other children. The park also has a beautiful garden for people looking for a place to relax or have a lovely picnic with their loved ones; this park has it all. Unfortunately, the washroom needs to be updated. However, I did enjoy my time in the park and am looking forward to visiting again. Unfortunately, the park is under renovation but soon be back on track.
