Port Harcourt Pleasure Park — Attraction in Rivers State

This is one of Port Harcourt's finest holiday & relaxation spots. I'll have to say the scenery is like a mini Switzerland and the atmosphere is peaceful.

While experiencing this park, for the first time, I couldn't help but notice the well planned walk routes adorned with freshly cut & maintained grass.The man made lake with the attendant water display and fountain was a cynosure. Did I mention the love boats that floated on this lake? It was enviable. Seeing lovers, family and friends float peacefully, taking pictures and establishing memories, laughing and singing along to the melodious sounds from the speakers from yonder was a joy to behold.

When walking and enjoying the ambience, to the right of the lake, facing the west, is a beautifully maintained golf course. How I wish I had my golf clubs & membership card, I could have played the wealthy man sports with the men & women on there who seemed to enjoy themselves.

By the side of the golf course is a lake view section where you & your family and friends could sit and enjoy the music (or the silence) while watching the calm flow of the lake. The viewing section has a low area where you could view the lake and immediate environs and a high area where you could view the entire pleasure park & the express way before. A tip - the high area is best recommended for lovers & introverts who love privacy. It's a bit private & somewhat shielded by the trees and shrubs.

Something interesting happened while I happily explored and that was seeing a springbok, physically, for the very first time in my life. It was so adorable & cute. I could look at it all day. Such a lovely animal, eating grass and having no worries at all. It was an interesting sight to behold.

The playground was fun. I played with the swing, rolling walk circle, zip line etc. Adjacent to the playground was a mini golf course and the restaurant, Micheal Gardens - a good place to enjoy music, ambience, captivating but warm lights and food with your loved ones.

The pleasure park has 2 strategically positioned bars, food outlets, grills, coffee spots and fruits drinks spots as well. There is also a cinema to the right of the entrance of the park.

I must say that it was a funfilled 4 hours I spent here. Satisfying. The scenery, the clean air, the jet streams, the people, the love boats, the lake, jumping springbok, the maintained flower trees by the walks, the carousel, the playground, the music, the water display fountain, the high view etc. This place is for you, for lovers, for family, for friends and all those who want to have a good time, relax, have fun or flee from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

I recommend you should visit, if you...

Are you within the city of Port Harcourt and are on the quest for a public recreational park with loads of amusement facilities for yourself, your kids, partner(s), and colleagues? Pleasure Park promises to afford you the best thrilling activities coupled with stellar services.

Pleasure Park was completed in 2017 as part of projects to mark the 50th Anniversary of Rivers State.

Located along Aba Road, and close to the Airforce Base is this expanse area of land that is replete with invigorating activities to give you the adrenaline pump and physical activities your heart would eternally be grateful for.

The Park is suitable for people of varied demographics as you can rest assured to find and engage in age-appropriate activities. Activities include but are not limited to: • Climbing Tower • Pedal (Gondola) boat ride • Paintball • Mini-golf • Mini-soccer • Virtual reality games • Train ride • Pool • Carousel, etc.

There is also the presence of a 5D Cinema on-site, restaurants and other small-scale food vendors. The availability of the latter makes the site an ideal spot for a picnic if I do say so myself. The staff are cordial and are an embodiment of what hospitality should be.

It is noteworthy to point out that this space is safe and the security of lives and properties is of utmost priority as there are trained personnel to guarantee such.

Furthermore, car owners should be informed of a parking payment which is distinct from the entrance fee. However, from my findings, both parking and entrance rates have been topped up recently by a meagre sum.

In a nutshell, the park is a great destination for recreational activities serving as both a tourist destination and a revenue generator...
