    From Ruins to Recreation - How Nakuru's Abandoned Silos Became Cyprus Park

    Back to News and Updates

    For decades, 30 abandoned silos in Nakuru City's Industrial Area were left to decay, a forgotten legacy of the National Cereals and Produce Board. Constructed in the 1970s for grain storage, these towering structures were deemed obsolete by the late 1980s due to severe structural concerns. Over time, they became overgrown, a notorious hideout for criminals, and a significant security risk for the community.

    A Visionary Transformation - David Mwangi’s Bold Idea

    Just when the abandoned silos seemed destined for demolition, David Mwangi, a visionary investor, stepped forward with a bold and transformative idea.

    Looking beyond decay, Mwangi imagined a vibrant, multifunctional space that could serve the community in entirely new ways. His vision gave birth to Cyprus Park, breathing new life into the 6.3-acre plot and transforming it into one of Nakuru City’s largest and most dynamic recreational centers.


    A New Hotspot for Family Fun

    Since opening in April 2022, Cyprus Park has become a magnet for families and fun-seekers from across Nakuru.

    With a wide range of indoor and outdoor attractions, the park offers excitement for every age group. Children can enjoy electric train rides, bumper cars, quad biking, inflatable pools, and immersive virtual reality experiences.


    Entertainment for All Ages

    The excitement at Cyprus Park goes far beyond children’s activities, ensuring adults are equally entertained.

    Visitors can take part in archery, badminton, darts, and competitive virtual reality games. When it’s time to unwind, the garden restaurant offers a relaxing space to enjoy great food while soaking in the park’s lively atmosphere.


    Affordable Fun for Everyone

    Cyprus Park remains committed to accessibility, with activities priced between 300 and 500 Kenyan shillings.

    For maximum value, visitors can opt for a 1,000 shilling package per person, granting access to multiple activities - an affordable and exciting way to experience everything the park has to offer.

    Author’s Note

    The transformation of Nakuru’s abandoned silos into Cyprus Park is a powerful testament to vision, creativity, and determination.

    What was once a symbol of decay has been reborn as a thriving community space. This inspiring journey highlights how one bold idea can reshape not only a physical environment but also the spirit of an entire city. It serves as a reminder that even the most forgotten corners can be transformed into places of joy, connection, and opportunity.
