Many people know Jeevanje gardens as a place to chill. The small public park is filled with ballast stone walkways and trees to protect the many idlers from Nairobi University.

The statue, often mistaken for a Catholic relic of a saint, stood for more than a century until February 2015 when it was vandalized by unknown people. A statue of AMJ, however, still stands as the centerpiece of the recreational gardens.

As the rest of the Nairobi skyline has changed, Jeevanjee Gardens has survived as a tribute to the man who built Nairobi.
