”Coming to the park with my friends is perfect for me to appreciate nature and the environment. It’s so good for the soul,” he said.
Meat seller, Malam Abdul Yakubu, described the season as a good time for business.
”I have made good money at the park since the beginning of the Christmas season. It’s a place to do business at a season like this,” he said.
One of the workers at the park, who pleaded anonymity, said that the park had been attracting hundreds of fun seekers daily.
”The large turnout of people who come daily, some to relax some for birthdays and meeting, is a daily occurrence,” he said.
Mrs Sharon Edmond, a mother of four, said she brought her kids to relax and play.
She, however, called on the park authority to improve security to discourage miscreants from coming to into the facility.
”As we were sitting and having fun some took my bag away before I could notice,” she said. (
