Good for a run around? Not sure what the attraction would be other than a nice green space to chillax in.

Thousands of Nairobians spend their lunch hour enjoying the green sward that is Uhuru Gardens. It's really a fairly average city park, but it's a nice resting place if you're downtown and need some quiet.

walking along the road is really not that pleasant - auto exhaust fumes are pretty bad - walk in the park is a nice break

We visited the park at noon. Hotel concierge had warned us not to take any money, passports, valuables and leave them in the room safe box. We had a fancy feeling of danger with people turning around us... Fancy feeling.

Good for aviation enthusiasts as it is on the flight path to Wislon airport. The air is clean and there is no noise. However, the grass is not really well maintained. Charges are very fair

feel free when relaxing there and ofcourse by seeing the men raising the flag monument, one recalls how Kenya as a country was colonised long time ago but now frreedom is felt.

This park has very poor access of a major highway. Can easily cause an accident into or out of the park. The grass is also sometimes over grown
