Parklands Sports Club
It started on 12
September 1906 when eleven white settlers
petitioned the then Her Majesty’s
sub-commissioner of Nairobi for a portion
of Government land (currently the area
occupied by the Club). This was to enable
them create a sporting facility where
they could meet, relax and play ‘civilized
games’. This was granted and so
they started by putting up a simple Clubhouse
made of wood and iron. Their initial office
was a small corrugated iron hut.
It
was initially an exclusively white dominated
Club with the first non-European member,
Mr. Yashvin Shretta being admitted in
1964. He later became the first non-European
chairman in 1979 and subsequently succeeded
by the first African, Mr. Paul Ndung’u
in 1982.
