On the Kenyan coast, Haller Park is located next to the Bamburi Cement facility to the north of Mombasa on the Mombasa-Malindi route. After converting one of the abandoned quarries owned by Bamburi Cement into an ecological area, Haller Park was created in 1971.
A list of visitor experiences that Haller Park provides includes the following:
