Uhuru Park, Public park in central Nairobi, Kenya
The 12.9-hectare recreational space features an artificial lake, multiple national monuments, footbridges, and an assembly ground with extensive walking paths throughout the grounds.
Opened by President Jomo Kenyatta in 1969, the park stands as a symbol of Kenya's independence, with its name Uhuru meaning freedom in Swahili.
The assembly ground regularly hosts national festivals, political gatherings, and religious ceremonies, serving as a central meeting point for Nairobi's residents.
Visitors can access the park free of charge through multiple entrances near the central business district, with boat rentals and food vendors available inside.
The park contains a dedicated area that has naturally evolved into a weekend skateboarding venue, attracting local skating enthusiasts and hosting competitions.
