The AUGUST 7TH MEMORIAL PARK is a memorial park but also functions as a centre of outreach to the public , to educate Kenyans on the appalling consequences of terrorism and violence and the need for peace , tolerance and reconciliations.

It was built as

• A memorial to the innocent people who lost their lives as a result of the 1998 bombing.
• A garden of solace offering comfort , strength and hope in an environment of relative peace and serenity both to the victims families , those who survived and also the general public for those directly affected by the tragedy.
• A tribute to the courage of those who have coped with injuries sustained and/or the loss of a loved one.
• A condemnation of terrorism. The Park makes a statement on the futility of terrorism and that virtues of humanity will prevail.

KEY FEATURES TO BE SEEN AT THE MEMORIAL PARK.

• The Plants All the plants are indigenous Kenya plants
• The Fountain A fountain made in the  famous Ying Yang sign bubbles in the centre of the Park and is a  symbol of life.
