About

Historic gardens with walking paths & monuments honoring the 1st place Kenya's flag was flown.

This is where Kenya's flag was first raised on December 12, 1963, and the monuments tell that story beautifully. The park is spacious and well-maintained with shaded trees and open lawns, plus it hosts weekend festivals — flights from Wilson Airport rumble overhead, but they quiet down by 6pm.
