About Haller park
Bamburi Haller Park, located south of the Cement plant along the Mombasa/Malindi highway is a product of the Bamburi Cement company’s effort, since 1971, to convert a barren landscape of disused limestone quarries into a vibrant and diverse ecosystem of forest, and grasslands and ponds. The park was the first recipient of the UNEP Global 500 Roll of Honour award for its unique, ecologically sound, and successful rehabilitation.
