Haller Park, also known as Bamburi Nature Trail, is a rehabilitation project on the site of Bamburi Portland Cement Company. The project began in 1971 by Dr René Haller who transformed Haller Park by increasing the mineral content in the soil. Portions of Haller Park were rehabilitated with a successful tree-planting effort, which now includes fish breeding and the establishment of a wildlife park.
Bamburi Portland Cement Company obtained the raw materials from the quarry, a fossil coral limestone reef that dates back 125,000 to 250,000 years ago. The giant kilns from Bamburi Company were visible for miles around.
