Though it started small at the at the popular old garage in Osogbo, today, it is s a long expanse of sprawling beauty, spanning a huge land mass from the old garage through old Ile Epo Olaiya to the old Fakunle in Osogbo, giving the sleepy town a new look expected of a city.This long stretch beautifully sculpted and designed, encapsulates the culture, history and essence of what Osun stands for in a modern and standardized mode. Welcome to the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, a recreation spot that can be described as an unraveling profile in tourist beauty.Though the area was part of the central business district, it never enjoyed the beauty and attention of that should characterize a city center; it was previously synonymous with ramshackle structures, destitute and beggars and car parks as well as street traders long the edges of the road, proliferation of miscreants and hoodlums and a very dirty and haphazard arrangement, giving the place the look of a ghetto.Today however, the recreational and aesthetic beauty of the park is a testimony of a huge turnaround in planning, beautification, aesthetics as well as cultural history and social facilities, making it a regular point of call for different classes of citizen and creating an opportunity for a night out in a safe environment among the people.Indeed, to people that had not visited the town for a while, it is easy to get disoriented as the old ile epo Olaiya and old garage that is the first stop for many coming into town is no more the plain area that they know; there is an obvious and consistent change in the look the area wears and Osogbo is quickly shedding its ancient toga and is rapidly metamorphosing into a modern city.

At the core center of the prestigious Osogbo city. It is also a mere stone throw from Osogbo Railway Station. Surprisingly, it is very near to the newly constructed Osun Mall which houses Justrite Superstore and a host of other businesses. Theres no much problem being here because it is also near the banking area.

This is one place you want to visit if you are ever in Osogbo.The environment is clean and its location is very central.The kids have loads of stuff to play with like bouncing castles and various rides.There’s a gate fee though as it is not free but believe me the 200 naira is well worth it.There’s a food court where you can grab a bite and there also free internet.

A serene environment in the middle of the town to let your hair down and enjoy the breeze.

Was at osun park with @havilahtours on a historical trip to see the great osun osogbo shrine, awesome experience

A serene environment during non-festive periods. It becomes a centre of attraction during festive periods.

Best relaxation centre in the state of Osun

#1 Nice place to be in Oshogbo

This is one of the relaxation parks in Osogbo osun state with serene environment, that Aids inspiration due to its quietness and calmness of the area, there are seats and trees which serves as shades from sunlight, there are also food vendors nearby where one can get refreshments.Its indeed a great place for picnics and also photoshoot.Visit once visit always

The standard of the park is quite below average for me.

Very nice place to park

Nelson Mandela Freedom park is a beautiful and serene place to relax, for picnic and time out with family and friends. The facility (especially the grasses) need to be properly maintained. Located at the heart of Osogbo. Patrons are charged extra for bringing camera into the park. Overall, its a nice place to visit whenever in osogbo.

A nice place for a quiet sit out with frds, lovers. An ideal place for rumination and thinking

Better touch will make this place a site to refresh.

A good place to hangout as groups for picnics and just to relax while viewing the nature of the environment.

Is a public space put in place by the government of the State of Osun but under private management. Its a large expanse of land where one can all hold any event(s). Has adequate parking space and a police post so its secured. It also has a decent hotel accommodation. It lies within the heart of Osogbo, the state capital.

Great place to get a good relaxation

It was restructured by aregbesola and its a fresh park with cool breeze

A very good place to relax and have fun with family but only active during the festive period and because of the locality they dont encourage public relaxation here in osun

A good relaxation spot in the centre of Osogbo the Osun State capital with the popular Osogbo Railway Station a very important link to the northern part of the Nigeria beside it. Close to the popular Orisumbare and Oba Adenle (Idi Seke) markets as well as the main motor park (Old Garage) and Dugbe market (motor parts) just a few metres away. The Gbongan /Ibadan highway to the left and a left turn to Asubiaro Road at the Orita Olaiya /Alekuwodo Road takes you to Sabo /Osun Grove Roads junction a right turn here takes you to the popular Osun Osogbo Grove a UNESCO heritage place with the Festival taking place in August of every year. Station Road to the far left leading to the Ataojas Palace beside the Osogbo Central Mosque and Okefia Road linking the Iwo /Ibadan Road to the right as well as the Ring Road (bypass) that takes you round the State capital avoiding the centre of the town connecting you to Ikirun, Okuku, Iree, Ila Orogun, Inisa and Erinle on the border with Kwara State to the northwest. Ilesa and Ile Ife to the northeast and southeast respectively. Ede town is south of Osogbo close to Abere the current seat of government of the state of Osun.

Its cool for relaxation but no much facilities.

A decent, conducive park for family,lovers and tourist relaxation and picnic.

One of the Motor park available in the capital of Osun state, Osogbo. It is an important part because it provides the necessary transit to convey passangers to different places within and outside the state such as Ilorin - Offa axis, Ìkirun - Iree axis etc.

Full of fun nd good for a leisure

The best bet for family and friends to unwind and feel nature.

Very beautiful area

It was fun

Osun park is recreational center put in place by the initiative of Osun State government under the leadership of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola. The park is suitable for any event with adequate car park and safety is guaranteed given the fact the park management is under private company. The park is situated in the very heart of Osogbo as it is well planned. The park is good for entire family to have fun outside the home and equally suitable for parties. You will love it.

A nice serene environment.

Its a place for relaxation with beautiful garden around.
