Jeevanjee Gardens

Jeevanjee Gardens is a public urban park in central Nairobi, Kenya, created as a small green space in the city center and donated to the public in 1906. It is one of the older dedicated public parks in Nairobi and remains a civic landmark.

A compact lawn and tree-shaded area offers benches, paths, and open grass used for informal gatherings and lunchtime breaks. The space is intensively used by nearby office workers and is valued for its central location and mature shade trees.

The land was donated by Alibhai M. Jeevanjee to be held for public use; the gift dates to 1906 and established the site as a permanent urban park. Management and upkeep have been the responsibility of municipal authorities since its donation.

The gardens sit in Nairobi’s central business district near the junction of major downtown streets. It is within walking distance of central institutions and commercial streets in downtown Nairobi.
