Dr Oluyomi Abayomi Finnih Recreational Park — Attraction in Ikeja

Spacious

Not properly fumigated so the grasses are always filled with all sorts of wild animals 😂😭

Palazzo bar is situated within the premises, and they keep their trash just at the back and it attracts all kinds of rodents that makes the sitting spaces close to that spot smelly 🤧

Mats are rented for ₦1,000 per mat

They mention that entrance fee is ₦1,000 but all the times I've visited, I didn't have to pay. It think you'd have to pay if you're coming in as a group though.

They let you bring your food and drinks, but breakables bottles are not allowed.

Smoking is not allowed within the premises too, so it's safe for kids.

The security personnels are friendly.

Dedicated parking space (I think you have to pay for it tho).

You're allowed to play loud music too.

The toilets used to be great, I don't know what's happening these days.

There's this romantic garden spot that's really great for taking pictures ☺️. I wish they'd take care of the flowers and bulbs there better.

They're open 24/7

They have a play ground for kids with a slide and...

Not that conspicuous... We were redirected to this park from J.J.T Ikeja... Much better in terms construction... But there is just only one shed.

They have a photography room for anyone who is interested in having their birthday or wedding shoot there... I guess there is a separate arrangement for that.

As it affect all Lagos park now, it's no longer free to use the park or pay as a group... But everyone now pays 1k for entry... Including children.

It's s cool place for children birthday party though, as there are more play grounds for children than J.J.T. and there is a horse ride.

There is free parking inside the park, but at peak hours, parking outside might incur paying the touts.

If you are to use this venue, come with your mat or blanket, as usage of their mat is expensive...

Speaker are allowed for communication or to play music but not big speakers, do as not to disturb other users.

Grill is not allowed within the park... So as not to disturb other users.

There is a lounge in the park... And that's where you could stay anything after 6pm as the park...

It is located at the Oregun end of the Opebi link bridge, and is a nice weekend relaxation spot for the family, especially children. There are play areas for children; containing swings, train ride, video arcade and other facilities which children like. There is a spot for teenagers and also for adults. There is a mini zoo(fenced enclosure) which is home to two monkeys, some birds (pigeon, parrot, duck, dove) and a small tortoise. There is a suya stand and a cafeteria, just in case you are hungry. It was enjoyable, but the following issues need to be addressed by the managers of the park:- The pond containing the tortoise was dirty and appeared to be in a state of neglect. It should be cleaned and the water replaced. The handles of the only two taps (wash hand basins) in the men's restroom were broken, such that you could not wash your hands, even though there was water. There was no liquid handwash and hand dryer and toilet paper. The grass has lost its colour because it is not well watered. It appears the sprinkles are not...
