Cycling the Wetland Wonderland: Nyandungu Eco Park Adventure
Nyandungu Eco Park, Rwanda’s first restored urban wetland, spans 121 hectares of lush, rejuvenated landscapes. Once a degraded site, it has been transformed into a thriving ecological sanctuary teeming with diverse plant and animal life. The park beautifully blends serenity, adventure, and environmental education, showcasing how damaged wetlands can be revived into multifunctional green spaces that not only serve the public but also address critical environmental issues such as flooding and pollution.
It has also become a beloved destination for local cyclists, who enjoy its scenic trails for recreation, exercise, and exploration. The park’s dedicated cycling paths offer visitors an immersive way to connect with nature while promoting sustainable, non-motorized transport. By integrating cycling infrastructure into its design, Nyandungu Eco Park stands as a model for how recreation, conservation, and urban planning can harmoniously coexist.
