About
A public park in the middle of Harare's CBD, where people come to sit on the lawns, meet friends or simply get out of the traffic for a while. It is rated 3.9 from over 600 Google reviews.
Visitors describe it as a patch of green in a concrete jungle, at its best in the rainy season when the grass and flower beds are lush. Reviewers mention plenty of benches, well-kept walkways and people relaxing on the lawn. Photographers work the square through the day, offering instant pictures, and vendors sell quick snacks.
The complaints are practical. One visitor found the water features and fountains in need of repair. Another points out that the toilets charge a fee. One reviewer who otherwise likes the square says the square needs security, after people have been harassed by some of the homeless people who spend time there. Google lists it as dog-friendly, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park.
