Kaduna Centenary Park, a plus in El-Rufai’s urban renewal plan

KADUNA, Nigeria -There are more than 100 parks in Nigeria. Lagos can conveniently boast of at least 10, very modern and functional. So, parks are nothing new in Nigeria but there is something special about the Kaduna Centenary Park, undertaken as part of Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s urban renewal plans for the state.

The Kaduna Centenary Park at present has no rival in Nigeria and possibly in Africa in terms of size, design and aesthetics. It appears to have been created with natural and synthetic materials that have elevated it to the level of what you could find in the much talk about Walt Disney.

Right from the gate, you are dazed by the masterpiece, the well paved lawns with beautiful flowers, race tracks for miniature car driving games with breathtaking observation area, the colourful children gaming area and the pool side designed for maximum fun for kids.

Kids are able to climb into a plastic tunnel that propels them with lots of pressure into the neat pool. It’s an unforgettable water splash, the type you experience in the days of Water Parks at Toyin Street, Ikeja, Lagos. 

The Kaduna Centenary Park houses among other things a standard Go-Kart Track,   Children Play Ground , Gymnasium, Restaurant and Event Center.

An artistic piece, well thought out, the Kaduna Centenary Park will not just boost the tourism potential of Kaduna State, but inspires hope in the making of Nigeria as a great nation.
