Muliro Gardens. [Benjamin Sakwa, Standard]

From a sordid past, Muliro Gardens in Kakamega town exude the ambience of a picturesque recreation park today. Indigenous trees, different species of bamboo, metal frame benches, and an assortment of flowers complemented by garden lights and cabro-paved pathways give it its breathtaking beauty.

On weekends, people seeking relaxation hardly find space since the only recreation park in town fills up quite early. Enclosed within two entrances, the park's open hours fall between 6am and 6pm daily. At night, both entrances are sealed.
