Uhuru Gardens

Nairobi, Kenya

Uhuru Gardens National Monument and Museum is a commemorative park and museum in the Lang'ata area of Nairobi, Kenya. Spanning approximately 68 acres (28 ha), it is Kenya's largest urban memorial park. The gardens mark the site where Kenya declared independence from British colonial rule on 12 December 1963, when the colonial flag was lowered and the Flag of Kenya was raised for the first time. The site was declared a National Monument in 1966. Following an 18-month closure from June 2020, the site was redeveloped by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) into a full national monument and museum complex and reopened on 12 December 2021 by President Uhuru Kenyatta during Jamhuri Day celebrations.
