“We want to create a vibrant and lively atmosphere at Uhuru Park,” Governor Sakaja stated. “The addition of a dancing fountain and other recreational facilities will make the park a popular destination for residents and tourists alike.”
The governor also emphasized the importance of transparency in the tendering process for the new facilities. He assured that all contracts would be awarded in a fair and open manner to ensure that the best businesses are selected to operate in the park.
In addition to the new attractions, Uhuru Park will also be equipped with manual gym equipment for fitness enthusiasts. Two basketball courts will be set up in partnership with other companies, providing opportunities for sports and recreation in the park.
Furthermore, the existing pond in the park will be drained and renovated to have clear water, enhancing the beauty of the park. Governor Sakaja stated that the majority of the renovation work is expected to be completed within the next nine months and will be fully funded by the county government.
To ensure the safety and cleanliness of the park, entry will be free for all visitors, but identity guards will be stationed at the entrances. This measure is intended to enhance security and maintain the park as a clean and welcoming environment for all.
Overall, the renovation of Uhuru Park promises to transform the historic landmark into a modern and vibrant recreational space for the people of Nairobi. With the addition of new facilities and attractions, the park is set to become a popular destination for residents and tourists alike.
