A beautifully designed recreation area adjacent to the Lionbuilding Police Station is available for individual or family picnics and other relaxing activities. Side attractions include skating, live music performance bands, snooker, an in-house DJ, table tennis, bars, restaurants, and a library.

    • Ajimati A. ★★★★ A serene park in a safe space in Lagos. The atmosphere was cool. You have to show up with your own fun. There is a horse ride available, and different hut to be booked.
    • Samuel S. ★★★★★ One of two public parks at Alausa. Scenery with some paly area for children. Always a favorite with people especially during festive periods. Entrance fee is N1000 per person and one can come in with own food and drinks. You can also rent a mat to seat on the grass at a fee of N1000-N1500 per one. Not much parking area but one can still arrange to park at adjoining buildings.

    • busola O. ★★★★★ Jhalobia is such a beautiful space. My friends and I used their garden to have a color-themed picnic and it was the best decision we ever made. The garden was neat and clean, there were no insects as they fumigate regularly. They had mats at the time I went and we just had to bring sheets to put over the mat. The bill was 5k per person but it was worth it, and my girls and I had the best time. It's the perfect place for a picnic or a wedding even
    • LOLA I. ★★★★★ A lovely park. It is nice for hanging out with friends and family. The environment is peaceful, good for a quick getaway from the hectic life of lagos. It is highly advised to make a reservation. The entrance fee is 5k per person.

    • Ahmed O. ★★★★ A famous garden located under the Falomo bridge connecting Ikoyi and Victoria Island. Beautiful attractive garden visibly seen from Awolowo Way and Bourdillon road. Walkways within the garden with artistic pictures of different monumental histories on the pillars of the bridge. Seating available and secured relaxation spots. It's free to enter. Hard to find a good park space around here.
