This is one place you want to visit if you are ever in Osogbo.

The environment is clean and its location is very central.

The kids have loads of stuff to play with like bouncing castles and various rides.

There’s a gate fee though as it is not free but believe me the 200 naira is well worth it.

There’s a food court where you can grab a bite and there also free internet.

Though it started small at the at the popular old garage in Osogbo, today, it is s a long expanse of sprawling beauty, spanning a huge land mass from the old garage through old Ile Epo Olaiya to the old Fakunle in Osogbo, giving the sleepy town a new look expected of a city.
This long stretch beautifully sculpted and designed, encapsulates the culture, history and essence of what Osun stands for in a modern and standardized mode. Welcome to the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, a recreation spot that can be described as an unraveling profile in tourist beauty.
Though the area was part of the central business district, it never enjoyed the beauty and attention of that should characterize a city center; it was previously synonymous with ramshackle structures, destitute and beggars and car parks as well as street traders long the edges of the road, proliferation of miscreants and hoodlums and a very dirty and haphazard arrangement, giving the place the look of a ghetto.
Today however, the recreational and aesthetic beauty of the park is a testimony of a huge turnaround in planning, beautification, aesthetics as well as cultural history and social facilities, making it a regular point of call for different classes of citizen and creating an opportunity for a night out in a safe environment among the people.
Indeed, to people that had not visited the town for a while, it is easy to get disoriented as the old ile epo Olaiya and old garage that is the first stop for many coming into town is no more the plain area that they know; there is an obvious and consistent change in the look the area wears and Osogbo is quickly shedding its ancient toga and is rapidly metamorphosing into a modern city.

At the core center of the prestigious Osogbo city. It is also a mere stone throw from Osogbo Railway Station. Surprisingly, it is very near to the newly constructed Osun Mall which houses Justrite Superstore and a host of other businesses. There's no much problem being here because it is also near the banking area.

A serene environment in the middle of the town to "let your hair down" and enjoy the breeze.

A serene environment during non-festive periods. It becomes a centre of attraction during festive periods.

This is one of the relaxation parks in Osogbo osun state with serene environment, that Aids inspiration due to its quietness and calmness of the area, there are seats and trees which serves as shades from sunlight, there are also food vendors nearby where one can get refreshments.
It's indeed a great place for picnics and also photoshoot.
