Freedom Park, Lagos Island, Lagos

The new Freedom Park on Lagos Island is located on the site of the colonial prison where prominent Nigerians had their jail terms during the colonial era.

Located in Victola Island, the park, which is now a peaceful place for individual and collective contemplation and interaction is open to public daily.
