The Reception area and car park

As earlier explained, this part is where every visitor gets to first see before accessing other parts of the park. The toilet (a considerably neat one) also belongs to this part. The play area

This portion played host to the Chickens and tortoise spaces. The horse rescue centre and table games section stood on the left, directly opposite the children’s play ground, and a beach sand field for soccer. Far ahead was the cage of the monkeys (with a dedicated guide who explained in dept all the team needed to know about the ever lively mammals). The fields

Trees are the first victims of urban development. Yet, they are critical for the mitigation of Climate Change and other environmental issues.

LUFASI runs a nursery of several plant species to help the restoration of degraded areas as well as the development of urban green spaces. This aligns with our main objective to facilitate the planting of at least 3,000 native trees in urban areas in Lagos State. The nursery consists of 20 different plant species including Fishtail Palm (Caryota mitis), Ixora (Ixora coccinea), Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata), Ekki (Lophira alata), Ficus (Ficus benjamina), (Delonix regia), Acalypha (Acalypha indica) among others. To reach our target of planting 3000 native trees all over Lagos, this nursery will need more space, more seeds and more helping hands. The nursery is nurtured by our dedicated gardeners and houses saplings, which will be transplanted to different afforestation sites in the state when ready.

The public is welcome to purchase seedlings from the nursery.

Listen, this is a place to recharge from the toxicity of modern life, take repeated walks around the park then add a visit to the spa afterwards and you'll be thankful for it 🔋

Horse - I met a cute brown horse as I made way way into the forest, he was quite the stallion 😊 🐎

Oxygen zone - walking by the fern plant community, you'll notice the unmistakable purity of the air around there. Pure air feels cooler, and like breathing in normal air after licking some menthol. Your skin cells would be happy you passed by too! 🌬

Monkeys! - Say hello to the monkeys, there are some young agile ones that keep jumping around in their cage(😔) There's a clearly raunchy male that did a cute mating walk show me he is the Alpha. I think his name is Alex. The tour guide would tell you Alex* dislikes to see men with women. There was a sensitive female. I held my hand out to a younger monkey that totally ignored it, the female reached out to hold my ignored hand, it was precious, then the little monkey suddenly got interested and was all over like 'me too!' 🐒

Eki forest - These trees hold years of evolution observed in silence. Pay homage to their resilence and wisdom. The walk through the forest is refreshing. Take a moment to 'forest bathe' a sign in the park would tell you that the Japanese have found forest bathing to be stress relieving and helpful for many health conditions, they call it Shirinyoku 🌳

Dam - What is nature without water? A calm dam awaits you here, you could sit and enjoy the serenity or you could walk the perimeter, while the surrounding plants sway softly in the cool breeze, serenading you. I did both and spent the better part of my stay here. There are fishes too! You could see them from across the railings 💧

Art! - Stop by the art gallery to enjoy some indigenous works 🎨

Symbols - This is understandbly a choice location for Nollywood shoots. You may see symbols on walls or on the ground that may be remnants from...
