The Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK) has announced the temporary closure of all public parks under its management across the state to enable routine maintenance and upgrade works.

The agency listed several popular recreational centres that will be affected by the closure, including “Ndubisi Kanu Park, Alausa JJT Park, Dr. Finnih Abayomi Park, Oregun, and all other LASPARK-managed parks across Lagos State,” the statement read.

According to LASPARK, “the temporary shutdown is necessary to carry out essential landscaping, facility repairs, and general upgrades to ensure the parks remain safe, clean and enjoyable for residents and visitors.”

The agency also assured residents that the exercise aligns with its broader mandate, stating that the maintenance programme “is part of its commitment to providing well-maintained green spaces that promote relaxation, wellness and environmental sustainability.”
