For the natural park lover, every other form of recreation pales in comparison to finding one in Lagos. Situated along the Lekki-Epe Expressway (Km 41) is the Lufasi Nature Park, after Ajah Roundabout, Abraham Adesanya Estate, Lagos Business School, and Novare Lekki Mall (Shoprite).
Lufasi Nature Park
With recreation as its secondary purpose, Lufasi Park is given to forest conservation which is important in checking climate change. Notwithstanding, this urban forest with an acclaimed 20 hectares of land has created a go-to place seen in the way the park is designed to give a warm welcome visitors.
There are guides who take visitors on a tour of the garden at the entrance which has a path that is bordered by flowers and palm tree plantations, through huts made of bamboo, wood mud, and palm fronds and which houses animals a few donkeys, horses, monkeys,
and wild cats, through a bridge above Lake Nora (it was almost dry when I visited and it looks rather like a small pool) and to the Ekki Forest which preserves, among other plant species, the almost extinct Ekki tree.
