"It is an irony, the paradox of that conversion into a place of creativity, of imagination, of excitement, a corner for children, just converting restrain into freedom"
''Freedom Park is a testimony that points to our administration's commitment and belief in freedom as the essential purpose of governance― freedom from need, freedom from poverty and its many spin-offs, and the freedom from insecurity.''
"The Uniqueness of this project is the fact that it is entrenched in history and has so much wealth of information beneath it."
''I had a great experience at Freedom Park, knowing the Nigerian history, with a wonderful guide.
Thank you Daniel, for your kind information provided.''
''Thank you Daniel, for an amazing adventure through history. This tour will stay with me, I have a lot to think about and on the Park''
''This land and its building that started with sad beginnings, now has a vibrant and uplifting energy! It was a great place to learn of the terrible British Colonization. Now It pays tributes to the Artists, Musicians and Artisans of Nigeria. We are coming back to watch the boxing!''
''We were honoured to meet the Architect who arrived in the Park and said hello!''
We are so happy that a place of such sad history has been transformed to a place of celebration and symbol of freedom.
It was interesting to learn about many activists who fought for their country's freedom and rights.
It was an honour to be here and we can't wait to come back and experience a show on the stage.
Love!
I have been taken on a guided tour by young Daniel - a gifted tour guide with articulate delivery and excellent knowledge of the site's history.
The credit of preserving this history goes to the Government of Lagos State under Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola's leadership, who had the enlightenment to embrace Arch. Theo Lawson's vision to preserve this evidence of colonial correction's history.
Well done, all impressive must be supported.
Thank you very much for the tour, very interesting and informative!
I am Abubakar, came from Abuja and was blown away by how great of an experience this place was.
I will definitely invite others.

It has been a wonderful and relaxing time spent here, highly educative and inspiring. The environment is welcoming and your tour guide really did a good job. May God bless the people in-charge. There is always more to do, no doubt. Kudo!!!
This is one of the best experiences we have had while touring sites and attractions around Lagos. We recommend Freedom Park Lagos to every visitors in Lagos.
Amazing tour, such great humour and knowledge. Touched the solemnity of the grounds, provided modern context, and made history come to life.
Dear Ms. Aboaba and Daniel,
Thank you for hosting me today at Freedom Park. Such an impressive, accessible community space.
As British High Commissioner, it is important for me to understand our history here, including the darker aspects.
My congratulations for such a creative community institution that helps shape a new narrative or Independence, Freedom and Future.
With warm wishes.
On his visit to Freedom Park, Tuesday, 16th Jan., 2024.
He Wrote: This is the preservation of our history and the eternal conservation of the sacrifices made by our heroes for our freedom. History is frozen and preserved for our generations to come. I have been in Prisons for many years as a political prisoner, my visit here reminded me of my own journey. I felt proud of the years of struggle. Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his comrades represent the conscience and conviction of humanity. May their souls continue to rest in peace.
