Jabi lake is my perfect spot for learning to cycle. There are so many other activities available, such as horse riding, skateboarding, tennis game🎾, and more. While these activities are not free, they are affordable and absolutely worthwhile. ❤

Jabi Lake in Abuja is a popular spot for fun seekers, you can play soccer, ride bicycle, run and do all sorts of sport related activity. Some go just to take fresh air and drink juiced fruit, or stand by the lake and appreciate nature. Others go to do pre wedding shots and photo shoots generally. But Jabi Lake is not well maintained, it lacks professional handling and government needs to do more for these place, it's too popular for the shabbiness that we met.

This is a very nice park with lots of open space. You can decide to go for picnic date with family, spouse or friends. The view of the lake is very nice and serene. At the park you have other recreational stuffs you can do like ride bicycle which can go for like #200 or less, ride scooter for #300, ride horse for at least #500. Also, there are games you can play like pool, table tennis etc. They also sell stuffs there like suya,ice cream amongst other. You also have the option of going for a boat cruise at the lake for #4000 for 5 persons depending that was the amount we took it. In general, it is a good place to relax.
