The first stroke of spade was given in September 1967. The horticultural service didn't count whereas 43 pairs of arm. It was necessary to start with installing a nursery since all the one of the city, forsaken, didn't have more practically anything. Of the greenhouses in bamboo and in wood were constructed while one prepared all drawings of details of the nursery, those of the gardens and floors as oneself now see them, as well as all plans of execution of the insfrastructure of the park, to know,: roads, sewers etc... Meanwhile, also, started the ornamentation of the City of the OAU. The nursery was finished beginning 69. In May, one started the infrastructure of the park. At the end the same year, one began to plant (twenty-eight months about after the beginning of works). The words are poor to describe the sum of work that it was necessary to provide to beat this record!Aujourd'hui, le parc présidentiel, aménagé, couvre une superficie totale d'un million de mètres carrés soit 100 hectares.

The district of the OAU as for him, cover 14 hectares.

Of by the will of the man of November 24, the bush yielded the place at a rich nursery where is stocked 200.000 plants about, to magnificent gardens and floors where the flowers vie of beauty, to animals of rare species (okapi, gorilla...), to splendid luminous fountains, without forgetting the Congolese art worthily represented here by works of a high artistic value, (the dresser, the player of Lokolé, the Lizard...) The unchangeable has been harmonized thus with the muable. And the Congo stream, booming in his/her/its bed of stones, comes to fill the view of the visitor greedy of spectacle.
