Walking
If you are starting from the center of Addis Ababa, such as Meskel Square, exit the square heading towards Menelik II Avenue. Walk straight along Menelik II Avenue, passing by various shops and cafes. Continue walking for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the area near the 2Q87+57M marker. The park will be on your left side. Look for signs indicating 'Addis Ababa Park' as you approach.
Public Transit (Minibus)
From Meskel Square, locate the minibus station nearby. Take a minibus heading towards the Kirkos area; ask the driver to drop you off at Menelik II Avenue. Once you get off the minibus, walk towards the mentioned marker (2Q87+57M). The park should be within a short walking distance, just a few minutes away from where you disembark.
Taxi (Bajaj)
You can also opt for a Bajaj (three-wheeled taxi). Hail a Bajaj and tell the driver to take you to Menelik II Avenue, specifically to the marker 2Q87+57M. The ride should take around 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. Once you arrive, you can easily spot the park.
