    Beautifully structured recreational park with a sufficient parking lot. There is a playground with swings and slides for children. An obstacle course that gives you a great view of the city as far you can see. A lake with boats that can carry up to 4 people which you have to paddle with your feet. It costs 3000 to use the boat for 15 minutes. There is a large green area that can be used for picnics or nice photos. Generally clean with accessible trash cans to eliminate littering. There is a fishing area where you can fish and an 18 hole golf course close by. There is also a children's pool. There are about 3 spots for people to sit and buy drinks and food and unwind. There is a cinema in the premises to watch current movies. A perfect place for the entire family.

    It is a very nice amusement park in the heart of Port Harcourt to take both kids and adults to for a time out. Parking is now free but entry fee has gone up to N1500 per adult and less for kids. There are two Restaurants that sells foods, suya, roasted fish and drinks in the park. There is also a cinema and well maintained lavatory in the park to prevent anti social behaviour. We enjoyed our visit and would not mind going there another time.

    Pleasure Park was everything I expected and more. It was easy to go to. Very accessible and not far from the house. Trans Amadi is PH's district so it was very easy to locate. Tickets were ₦1500. The security staff were kind enough to watch our bags while we enjoyed the place. I entered the park and I was wowed beyond my imagination. The greenest and most well maintained grass. The best lake. I had the best tigernut milk here. Expensive but well, it was nice. There's a shawarma place, a place for suya and a mural. There are train rides, park rides and the best of all was the paddle boat. My boat wasn't steering well so they changed the boat for me and I had a blast. A serious blast. The pictures I took here were nice and I'd never forget this day in my life.

    This is one of Port Harcourt's finest holiday & relaxation spots. I'll have to say the scenery is like a mini Switzerland and the atmosphere is peaceful. While experiencing this park, for the first time, I couldn't help but notice the well planned walk routes adorned with freshly cut & maintained grass.The man made lake with the attendant water display and fountain was a cynosure. Did I mention the love boats that floated on this lake? It was enviable. Seeing lovers, family and friends float peacefully, taking pictures and establishing memories, laughing and singing along to the melodious sounds from the speakers from yonder was a joy to behold. When walking and enjoying the ambience, to the right of the lake, facing the west, is a beautifully maintained golf course. How I wish I had my golf clubs & membership card, I could have played the wealthy man sports with the men & women on there who seemed to enjoy themselves. By the side of the golf course is a lake view section where you & your family and friends could sit and enjoy the music (or the silence) while watching the calm flow of the lake. The viewing section has a low area where you could view the lake and immediate environs and a high area where you could view the entire pleasure park & the express way before. A tip - the high area is best recommended for lovers & introverts who love privacy. It's a bit private & somewhat shielded by the trees and shrubs. Something interesting happened while I happily explored and that was seeing a springbok, physically, for the very first time in my life. It was so adorable & cute. I could look at it all day. Such a lovely animal, eating grass and having no worries at all. It was an interesting sight to behold. The playground was fun. I played with the swing, rolling walk circle, zip line etc. Adjacent to the playground was a mini golf course and the restaurant, Micheal Gardens - a good place to enjoy music, ambience, captivating but warm lights and food with your loved ones. The pleasure park has 2 strategically positioned bars, food outlets, grills, coffee spots and fruits drinks spots as well. There is also a cinema to the right of the entrance of the park. I must say that it was a funfilled 4 hours I spent here. Satisfying. The scenery, the clean air, the jet streams, the people, the love boats, the lake, jumping springbok, the maintained flower trees by the walks, the carousel, the playground, the music, the water display fountain, the high view etc. This place is for you, for lovers, for family, for friends and all those who want to have a good time, relax, have fun or flee from the hustle and bustle of every day life. I recommend you should visit, if you haven't done so
