Nairobi’s sunken parking that harbours all manner of activities

Like a dimple moulded in the face of a beautiful sculpture, the sunken parking lot sits undaunted by the monstrous buildings that form the city skyline. During the day, the space opposite Jogoo House - headquarters for the Office of the Inspector General and the Ministry of education - serves as a parking lot.

But in the evening, it is many things to many people. To the street families, it serves as 'home' while city hustlers transform it into a car wash yard once the county askari are nowhere to be seen. When we visited the park yesterday, we found a group of homeless boys who literally live there.
