What is Nyambera playground?
Nyambera playground is the public park created on the site of Kisii town's old Nyambera dumpsite, which had operated since 1957. The county government converted it into a green recreational space known as Governor's Park, with walking paths, gardens, trees and open ground for games and public events.
It is a free public park rather than a commercial attraction, so facilities are basic. It works as a short stop with children while in Kisii town.
The park is a former dumpsite reclaimed as green public space, part of the county's waste management effort.
