Giwa Gardens Water Park
Giwa Gardens Water Park was opened in late 2023 and relaunched with enhanced safety measures in March 2024, offering attractions such as an extreme river, wave pool, pirate-ship waterhouse, slides, caves, and a large artificial beach.
The park is located in Sangotedo, Lekki, Lagos, and is billed as the largest water park in West Africa by water volume.
In November 2024, Lagos State, together with major brands like FilmHouse, Domino's, FiberOne and Tribe Lagos, sponsored 100,000 free tickets to Giwa Gardens.
The state also provided 1,000 all-inclusive passes that covered entry, food, and safety gear, underscoring its commitment to promoting recreation and tourism.
