Nice little park just north of the governmental quartiers, offering a little relief from the noise of the city. On the downside, the stream and the park in general is dirty. Has a restaurant as well, serving African cuisine. Be aware that you need to pay a fee of FCFA 2500 to take photos in the park. Also, if you keep walking a little further south, you can see the waterfalls of Mfoundi behind the Ministry of Forestry building.

The seat of the Archdiocese of Yaoundé, built in 1951 and consecrated four years later. Nevertheless it is still reportedly under construction. With a cross-shaped interior, this cathedral has room for about 5,000 worshippers.
