What is Paradise Park (Barnawa, Kaduna)?
Paradise Park in Barnawa, Kaduna, is one of the few privately owned nature parks in the state and is quietly combining wildlife conservation with family recreation. Giant tortoises lumber through shaded paths, pigeons descend in flocks at feeding time, and children come face to face with animals many have only encountered in textbooks or cartoons. The park also has monkeys and peacocks, and a children’s playground, making it a gentle, educational outing rather than a high-energy amusement park.
