An area of City Park has been approved 
for development by the Nairobi City 
Council. Located in Parklands, Nairobi, 
City Park is a public utility, set aside by 
the government in 1932 as a public park. 
It consists of famous gardens and an 
area of indigenous forest. Some of the 
area has also been gazetted as a National 
Monument by the National Museums of 
Kenya. 
The Friends of City Park, a special 
project of Nature Kenya, is questioning 
this approval and will be requesting the 
relevant government departments to 
protect City Park for the people and 
visitors of Nairobi.
