From preachers to ragamuffins, desperate job seekers to exhausted salespeople, Nakuru's Nyayo Garden is where those beaten by the harsh reality of life seek refuge and drown their sorrows.
Often, you will find job seekers catching a nap under a shade after a tough day knocking from office to office.
Their CVs lie beside them in an old brown envelop that tells a tale of struggle.Students in local colleges, unable to afford lunch, choose Nyayo Gardens as the place to while the time away as they await the next lecture.
Budding pastors also choose Nyayo Gardens to launch their career.
Humble lovers who have nothing but raw and naive love also come here. Sit under a tree and practice a bit of caressing.
Sometimes, when the trees are not watching over them, they lock lips for a few seconds.
Ragamuffins also roam the place sniffing their glue.
They target lover as it is easy for a guy to part with that ten bob just to get time with his catch.
The place is also a drawing board for those waiting for cases at the Nakuru Law courts.
Some of the best cases won at the courts were drafted at Nyayo Gardens.
During the wet seasons, the lush grass seduces big shots and you can bump into some whites also enjoying the breeze.
But during the dry season, only locals maraud the place.
If you ever set foot in Nakuru, please visit Nakuru's frustration square!
