Ibadan - Agodi Gardens - Courtesy of Earthworks Landscape Architects
Agodi Gardens is situated in Ibadan, Oyo Province in Nigeria. Ibadan is the third largest city by population in Nigeria and also the third largest city geographically in Africa. Ibadan literary means between the savannah and the forest and it is on this interesting cusp between the biomes that the park is located. Agodi Gardens contains an indigenous forest, zoo, a lake and tree plantations.
Earthworks Landscape Architects is the lead consultant on the project with Engineers and Architects from Nigeria and South Africa on the team.
The garden is situated near the center of the sprawling Ibadan metropolis, near Oyo State Secretariat Complex. The park is surrounded by the bustling and sprawling metropolitan area, it stands out as a green lung in the surrounding urban landscape with great recreational potential.
About Project
Our brief is to revive the park from its current dilapidated state and to construct the program, which includes a waterpark with slides and swimming pools, restaurants, an events hall, open areas for picnicking and reconstructing the zoo. Our concept is based on maximizing the contrast between the forest and savannah biomes and not cluttering the site with exotic aesthetic planting.
The project encourages full local content participation and aims to engage a workforce of approximately 300 local Ibadan people per month. Not only is the a source of income for the indigenes of Oyo state but also allows a form of skills acquisition.
The developer AM&SEA is a Nigerian Company with South African and UK partners in construction, engineering and landscape architectural services. A company with a wide range of experience across a broad range of construction and property development projects. A strategic alliance with Earthworks landscape architects helped sharpen its focus in the area of designing outdoor spaces in a way that is sensitive and strives to integrate the needs of human development and the natural environment.

So green and nice 
I was looking at this thread on NL about some place in Enugu, I think, and the op posted a pic of this nice lake with a small hill overlooking it. It was really nice. And someone posted: "Hey they should get rid of all that grass because we can't maintain it Nigeria because there is no sprinkler system" or something to that effect :dead:
Must we bury everything in concrete
