HELLO LOVELY STEEMIT CITIZENS,

@chiama reporting for @wafrica.

Today, I would like to tell you about a beautiful park located in the heart of Abuja. The name of this park is THE MILLENNIUM PARK and it is located in Maitama, Abuja.

@chiama posing in the beautiful Millennium park.

This park is the most beautiful and largest park in Abuja. It boasts of a fountain, playground for the kids and lots of beautiful trees, spread out in over 80 acres of land.

The park was commissioned by Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II in 2003. The Nigerian President at that time was Olusegun Obasanjo.

During the weekends, the park is a bee hive of opportunities. A lot activities are held there, from birthdays to picnics. It is a also a popular place for couples to take their pre-wedding pictures.

I really love this pre wedding photo because you can see the enormous Aso Rock at the background.

This picture was taken by the river banks. Is it not lovely? The couple look so gorgeous!

The Park was designed by the late Italian architect Manfredi Nicoletti.

Yesterday, I went there to take some pictures. I love how the place is well taken care of. The grasses don't just look green but are also lush. There are a lot of trees their that provide shade for people who come to have a picnic. It is truly a sight to behold.

Beautiful pictures....

I had visited the millennium park for the first time about 10 years ago. It was very beautiful then...
And from these pictures, they still look amazing...

Wouldn't mind paying another visit pretty soon because I'm sure I will have a lot of fun...

Nice one and thanks for sharing @chiama on behalf of @wafrica

Very pretty! We have such an idea of Nigeria here as such a dusty place, but it is nice to see there are such nice luscious green places for you to enjoy. Good job of combining the articles with the information. If I had any steem to give, I would give it! Hopefully next time I find one of your posts, I will be "charged up" again!

Nigeria is really a beautiful place. Îts just that the media is very good at showcasing only a one sided view about the beauty of Nigeria.
