Freedom Park, Memorial park in Lagos Island, Nigeria.
Freedom Park encompasses gardens, monuments, and preserved colonial prison structures across a landscaped area in downtown Lagos Island.
The site transformed from Her Majesty's Broad Street Prison, which held political activists during Nigeria's independence movement, to a memorial park in 2010.
The park functions as a center for artistic expressions with regular exhibitions, performances, and monthly karaoke nights that showcase Nigerian creativity.
Food vendors throughout the grounds provide refreshments while visitors explore the various sections of the park, including dedicated spaces for children.
The original prison walls remain as the park's perimeter fence, connecting the current recreational space with its historical foundation.
