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). Come and enjoy your money.
