📍
  • 7 Evelyn's Event & Recreational Centre, Along 1st Avenue Junction, By, 32 Cres (By Road), ☏ +234 707 675 4052. 24H every day. It's a recreational center in Gwarimfa and one of the luxurious events and recreational centers in Abuja. It has a basketball ball court, football field, swimming pool and other activities for the refreshment of the people. It also provide luxurious event spaces and infrastructure. It depends.

  • 8 Dreams Recreational Active Park, Shop 007 Dreams Plaza, Aminu Kano Crescent, Wuse II (By Road), ☏ +234 803 405 0115. 8am to 10pm every day. Decent place. Very chill and relaxed. I recommend. The only thing is you can't order suya unless you are at the suya spot and for the simple crowd who just want to have the original Nigerian experience, this place is definitely a go-to. It depends.
