Before the facility was closed for revamping almost a year ago, it was a center and bee hive of activities for different Kenyans who would go rewind, have fun and also a business place for others.

The commissioning of the facility by the president comes months after he also launched the famed Uhuru Gardens along Langata road.

The renowned Park was gazetted and opened to the public by Kenya's founding father and first President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta on 23rd May 1969 as an expression of the country's freedom which had been attained in the early 1960s.
