Nice garden area within the premises of the University of Lagos. Offers a serene view of the Lagos lagoon and the third mainland bridge further out into the lagoon. I wish the managers could take its maintenance abit more seriously and do more to promote it.

The Lagoon Front is lovely sight to behold. The expanding ocean, the long bridge and the blue skies. The University of Lagos designed this place for recreation and relaxation. The trees, plants and seating is organized creatively. Reading here can be interesting and rewarding. The cool breeze is quite wonderful. There used to be wifi signal around the area. Crabs are present here thus one needs to be careful. Sometimes the area is flooded , especially rainy season, due to increase in water level of the Lagoon. A mini zoo and botanical garden is located here you. You can find monkeys, fish, tortoise and other animals. Plant species are labeled with botanical names.

The lagoon front is a beautiful scene meant for rest and relaxation. Compared with the University's Senate love garden, it's less windy although its directly in front of the Lagoon.
From here you can see the traffic on the 3rd Mainland bridge. You can also see large water bodies.
A downside is its maintenance. Although its meant for relaxation, mosquitoes and ants are a constant pain. Spending 5 minutes and you'll already be stung more than 5 times.response / report this review -

The atmosphere was great and green here. I love the environment and it's location. There are spaces were you could sit to Chill and relax to enjoy fresh air from mother nature.
Best time to come around here are evenings as the sun won't be too scorching to the skin and sand flies around.
The place is not what it used to be before. The grasses have all grown tall and weeds everywhere and no one seems to be taking good care of them. Much work needs to be done to preserve this beautiful environment.
Nice place though, and of course I would definitely still chill around again to relax.response / report this review -

It's a very serene environment, accompanied by the trees and flowers and lagoon which brings cool breeze. Even though it could be better if maintained and taken care of, It is a quiet place even people around with a very good view of the third mainland bridge. If you are a lover of crabs, you will find them in abundance.

It's cool and all but when the sun is scorching it's really not the best place to be

A great facility existing within the University of Lagos. The water front gives you a unique feeling and it's a place to have a quiet time.

Nice scenery, my kind of place. It was my first time there, I however expected more being at the shore which is not as clean and having heard so much about it.
More like an evening hangout/reading garden for students. I will visit again to explore further and then back here to update the review.response / report this review -

It is really a nice place to be. Environment so calm. Nature here is indescribable healing.
The water front view was something that got me fascinated
when next you are around Akoka, you should visit this place to see what I'm really mean.response / report this review -

A serene environment located within the University of Lagos, Akoka, which gives a direct view to the Lagos lagoon and third mainland bridge. A good place for relaxation and meditation

Serene environment, great ambiance and a wonderful relaxation spot. It's a great place to sit and meditate and also to hang out and have small garden parties. The cool breeze from the ocean and the view of the bridge makes it a nice place to be.

It overlooks the lagoon and the third mainland bridge can be seen from it, it's absolutely breathtaking. Great for parties, proposals and pre wedding photo shoots.

Spent most of my time here during my undergraduate. It's airy, serene and natural. Relaxing and meditating here made my stress vanish.

Beautiful natural scene. However, not everywhere is clean, some paths are totally covered by weed plants, management should do something about that.
