Ndubuisi Kanu Park — Attraction in Ikeja

This park is a nice quiet place opposite the entrance to the Lagos State Government House. It's a fun place for kids and family to visit. There is train ride for kids, a mini hockey field for active, and a bouncy castle. There are swings and slides for children play with for free. The park is adequately shaded, with seats, greens and, ample open space for kids to have fun, run around and burn their energy. There are two Cafes spots where you can get some snacks, food and drinks. The park has well maintained segregated toilets for Kids (boys and girls separate) and for Adult (male and female separate) with attendants willing and ready to help. The park has security watch with signage and warning for parent to look after their wards. Car park is available for visiting family it's and also manned by security personnel. A toll fee of N250 is charged per person to enter this park which normally goes for N500 as informed at the entry point. You will also have to pay to use most of the fun things in the park.

The lawn seemed well maintained but it has some outgrown weeds that stick onto people's cloth. It is expected that on festive days such would have been removed. The field for kids to play ball and was under lock. There was a table soccer game without ball, so the kids couldn't play with it, plus it had probably seen better days and may need replacement or maintenance.

It is also disappointing to see the park was charging fees enter and yet you have to pay to use most of the fun things. Rico's understandable that this may be done to control crowd but then enter fee has to be looked into.

Overall it's really nice place for family to relax, play and have fun. It's really good to see LASPARK is putting parks like this in place especially as the city is in seriously lacking parks and open space...

The Kanu Indubuisi park is a perfect place for a date , a hang out, picnics , meetings or events. It has a good parking space , it's in a beautiful and Serene environment, well secured. It Is located opposite the JJT park. It has well maintained toilets, a children section. It is open to the general public. However, they close by 6pm I wish they operate in the evening though.. You can also do a photoshoot though that will attract some extra cash. It's a place to go clear your head. It is owned and managed by the Lagos State government, it has good facilities for children. The children play area is well equipped with several options to choose from. Well maintained restrooms. It has also have a basketball court. I love the fountain that welcomes you as you step into the main arena. On days where they have events, parking can be a little difficult but the security will definitely help you out. About security? You have nothing to worry about. It is located in Alausa close to the governor's b office, the Lagos Secretariat and the Lagos house of assembly. Entry is absolutely free and accessible to all. You can host a birthday party, an exhibition, a show etc. But to do this you must seek permission and it comes at a little cost. there are food vendors around just in case you need to munch something. It's just a great place do not expect something out of the ordinary. If you are looking for something adventurous this is not the place to be but if you are looking for a good location to think, read, do some sight seeing this might...

Let me start with the fact that, I was actually looking for JJT park, and didn't know I was in NK park, until about 10mins after I'd settled in 😭😂

So, the park had over half of its land still under some sort of construction, but the remaining half had the following

A good toilet (with cleaners who were constantly taxing you)

A children's sandy playground with a sturdy plastic castle-designed play house and slide

Trees for shade and good grassy sitting space which was well fumigated, so there were no flies, ants or insects to be weary of.

Concrete park benches (not so many tho)

A great view of JJT park because the two parks are literally directly opposite each other 😁

They don't have enough parking space tho, so if you're driving, I'd advise you to come early.

The security is also solid and the elderly man at the gate was nice too.

Since they close by 6pm, once it's 5:45 thereabout, the security men will begin to blow a whistle to signify to everyone that they should all start packing up.

They also gave mats for free. They didn't sell food within the park but you're allowed to bring yours.

I and my friend just ordered from PlugOut through Chowdeck and it was the best fried rice we'd ever had on this side...
