A Chinese-built indoor arena, this is a venue for both team and individual sports from basketball to judo. It is also used for exhibitions, conferences and such events, moreover the building itself is a good example of futuristic architecture.
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.
