The Kano State Government is preparing to reopen the newly revamped Green Park along Audu Bako Way, giving residents a refreshed public space for relaxation and recreation.
Once known as a troubled area, the park is now being transformed into a clean, safe, and welcoming space for families, children, and the wider community.

The Commissioner for Water Resources, Environment and Climate Change, Dr Dahiru Muhammad Hashim, said the project reflects the government’s plan to improve both the environment and quality of life for residents.
«“This project is about giving people a safe place to relax, interact, and enjoy nature.”
“We are turning a place that was once a concern into a space that brings comfort and pride to the community.”
He explained that the redevelopment is part of a wider effort by the state government to restore public spaces and promote healthier living through access to green areas.
“Green spaces are important for our wellbeing,” he added.
“They help reduce stress, improve the environment, and create a better living condition for our people.”
The park is being redesigned to support recreation, social activities, and environmental sustainability, offering residents a peaceful place away from the busy city.
The project also forms part of the state’s broader “Green Mandate,” which aims to restore at least 10 public parks across Kano and bring back the culture of community recreation.
In recent months, the government has begun similar work in other locations, including Nassarawa Park, where facilities are being upgraded to provide modern playgrounds and green areas.
Officials say the ongoing efforts are not just about beautifying the city but about creating safer, healthier environments where families can spend time together.
As the Green Park nears completion, many residents are looking forward to a new chapter—one where public spaces are reclaimed for positive use and community life is strengthened.
