Sosanwo T. ★★★★★ : It is a place you would not want to be during the rainy season. The access and alternative roads could get flooded forcing you to walk in dirty erosion water/mud, unless you are not getting out of your vehicle. The pitch and other recreational equipment are fair.
I.G N. ★★★★★ : A very Seren environment, good ambiance, always busy for events and programs; above all, shares no boundary with the popular Real Madrid Football Academy Port Harcourt.

Victor S. ★★★★★ : Nice pitch to tap ball but the staff are very unfriendly They think everyone wants to scam them
Idara E. ★★★★★ : It one's of the best soccer pitches in the city of Port Harcourt, if not the best. A good and sizable playing turf with a stand-by referee. Their management is proactive with the constant maintenance of their facility. Aside playing football, you can also watch live football games, get food and drinks (fruit juices inclusive).
