Jhalobia Recreation Park & Gardens is a beautifully landscaped, multi?purpose garden and event venue situated along the Murtala Muhammed International Airport?Road in Ikeja, Lagos.
Here are few things to note about the Jhalobia Recreation Park and Gardens:
- The park covers about two acres of lush green space with ever?green lawns, walk?ways, topiaries in various shapes, sculptures, fountains, ponds, rock gardens, gazebo structures, exotic trees and palms.
- It also includes a children’s playground equipped with play?toys, making it suitable for families and outings.
- Over time it has grown into a popular venue for events like weddings (traditional or white?ceremony), anniversaries, birthdays, product launches, school visits, picnics and photo?shoots.
- The park was established in 1998 under the guidance of Mrs?Veronica?Adepoju and her two daughters (landscape designers).
- Prior to its creation it was reportedly a disused dumpsite and hide?out; the transformation into the garden space is part of its unique story.
- It offers a peaceful, green retreat inside Lagos’s busy urban environment—ideal for relaxing walks, nature?breaks, or organising a memorable outdoor event.
- The aesthetic of the garden, with its varied flora and well?maintained landscaping, makes it a favourite for photoshoots and as a backdrop for special occasions.
