Description

Port Harcourt Pleasure Park is one of those rare gems that somehow manages to blend the buzz of a lively amusement spot with the calm of an open green space. Located right in the heart of the oil-rich garden city, it’s a place where locals and travelers alike can kick back, have fun, and maybe even forget the hectic pace of city life for a while. You’ll find it along Aba Road, sandwiched between the Army Barracks and the Air Force base junction — a spot that’s surprisingly spacious, giving the park plenty of room to breathe and grow.

What really sets this park apart is the sheer variety of things you can do. From climbing towers that challenge your inner adventurer to pedal boats that let you lazily glide across the water, it’s a playground for all ages. Mini golf and mini soccer fields offer a bit of friendly competition, while the playgrounds cater to kids of different ages, so no one’s left out. And if you’re feeling a bit more daring, the paintball and shooting range are there to get your adrenaline pumping.

Fitness buffs won’t be disappointed either—there’s a dedicated jogging path and fitness equipment scattered around, perfect for those who want to sneak in a workout while having fun. When hunger strikes, you don’t have to wander far. The park boasts shopping malls and restaurants that serve up a variety of tasty options, so you can fuel up without missing a beat.

One of the crown jewels of the park is its 5-star cinema and the virtual reality games center. Here, you can dive into immersive experiences like FIFA on PS2, 9D and even 5D cinemas that’ll twist your perception of reality — it’s a tech-lover’s dream come true. This blend of outdoor fun and cutting-edge entertainment earned the park the Nigeria Tourism Award for Best Family Amusement Centre, and honestly, it’s easy to see why.

Accessibility is thoughtfully handled too, with wheelchair-accessible entrances, parking, and restrooms, making sure everyone can enjoy the fun without hassle. The park is definitely family-friendly, but it’s not just for kids — adults find plenty to keep them entertained, whether it’s catching live performances or just soaking in the lively atmosphere.
