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.
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.
