Isaac Boro Park

Isaac Boro Park is a public green space in Port Harcourt situated opposite the Mile One Flyover, featuring walking paths, playgrounds, and open areas for recreation. The space is bounded by Bauchi Street to the south, Ogbodo and Blue Streets to the north, Ikwerre Road to the west, and Ohia Street to the east, with native vegetation surrounding the entire grounds.

The park was established in 1970 and named after Isaac Adaka Boro, a figure who championed minority rights in the Niger Delta region. From 2006 to 2013, it served as the main venue for Port Harcourt's international trade fair.

The park serves as a gathering place where residents come together for important public ceremonies and celebrations throughout the year. It functions as a community landmark where people experience shared moments and local traditions.

The area is easy to navigate and well-defined by its surrounding streets, making it simple to find your way around. Plan your visit for early morning or late afternoon when it is cooler and more comfortable for walking and outdoor activities.

The park has long been a center for baseball activities in Port Harcourt, hosting local teams and enthusiasts who keep the sport alive in the city. This sporting role gives the space a character beyond its typical park functions.
