Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great place to chill with kids on a Sunday afternoon but the problem is it gets really packed we stayed just for 20mins to experience local picnic vibes.

I can't say that I was terribly impressed with this park. It suffers from poor management. It's also rather ordinary.
I will say that it's a great place for bird watching. I saw no less than 4 new species. I do recommend it for that. I saw the amethyst sunbird,red faced crombec,blackcap and the dark capped yellow warbler.

Pretty gardens and interesting. Have good views of Nairobi’s skyline. However, there is too much trash and that distracted me from enjoying them. I went there because I had been told one gets good views of Nairobi’s skyline. Once there I realized Kenyatta International Conference Centre is more suitable for that purpose.

Uharu Park is within walking distance from the centre of Nairobi. It is large, fairly clean and, certainly during the day, safe. Lovely paths lined with shrubs crisscross the park, with a lake in the centre as a highlight. Paddle-boats could be rented to see the lake up close.
Certainly on Sunday, when I went, the people of Nairobi were out in force. Stalls were selling food and drinks, hawkers were selling knick-knacks and there was a general party atmosphere about the place. The kids will enjoy the rides, while the parents will enjoy a quiet picnic under a shady tree.
Uluru is a great spot to pass a bit of time, relax and have some fun. Highly recommended.

This is the place where declaration of Independence was issued. It's a nice place to have a picnic due to the lushly grassland in the plains. There are a few sculptures also in the site.

Monuments are beautiful! It would be great if one can get a guide on a sport about history, since it is one of the most important points in the city. Artistic eco corner is also interesting. It is a good place for 30-45 mins break for solo travelers going around.

We happened to chance upon this Memorial Park. Our driver/guide brought us here. It is amazing to see. We happened across a church group of kids. AMAZING - this was a highlight, we had such fun with them. Loved the Mogumo Tree and the monument of Love, Peace and Unity.

Uhuru gardens offer an open place, especially for children to play, the security is high, with one manned entry point and armed security personnel keeping watch. It is a popular venue for events so its prudent to find out its availability before visiting.

We did not really enjoy our visit here as there's really not much to see or do and it is just the memorial in the small park that is of any interest and even that is kind of lacking.

Written 7 June 2016
Yes, when you reaches Nairobi, heck with local tourist assistance OR Bus company to find out, this is a vague question which can not be answered by a visitor, after passing time, things changes fast, there is nothing free in this modern world except home.
