Keep the central circuit compact: Jeevanjee Gardens, City Market and the Kenyatta Avenue civic route sit within the CBD grid. Uhuru Park lies just south of the centre, while City Park is farther north in Parklands, so treat those as separate stops and check each park’s current gate status. This guide does not publish live closures, market hours or transport times.
