It became more of a place to party than a peaceful place full of exotic gardens. I love some of the events that happen there, such as making off clips connecting with cultural nature and all. The sad thing is, you can't bring kids in certain areas, tho, so some couples get laid over there. Smh

This is a nice public garden (entry fee required). Sadly there was a lot of plastic waste everywhere. They need to clean much better. I also went on a Sunday and there were about 10 little churches having church services in the green, complete with speakers and plastic chairs - an interesting experience.

The closest Kinshasa has to a city park, a lovely place to come for a walk and feel nature right in the city center.
