Solution Fun City Opens in Awka: A New Era of Family Fun in Anambra

Something big just happened in Awka, the capital city of Anambra State. On Saturday, June 28, 2025, Solution Fun City, a world-class amusement and leisure park, officially opened its gates to the public. The initiative, led by Governor Charles Soludo, is part of a larger vision to improve urban life in the state and provide families with safe, fun, and modern recreational spaces.

To mark the grand opening, the state government granted free entry to all Anambra residents, and the atmosphere was electric. The crowd was treated to exciting live performances by some of Anambra’s finest music icons like Flavour, Umu Obiligbo, and the popular highlife performer Professor Onye Egwu. Families, friends, and fun seekers came out in large numbers, and the energy was one of joy, pride, and celebration.

But Solution Fun City is not just about one day of celebration. It’s a permanent addition to the landscape of Anambra, a symbol of growth, modern development, and quality family life.

Parents can relax while their children play freely. Teenagers can enjoy more adventurous rides and arcade games. Even grandparents have peaceful corners and shaded areas to rest while enjoying the views and activities.

On the opening day, the water park was a major highlight. Children screamed in delight as they slid down into splash zones. Families played together in the pools while staff members kept everything safe and organized. There were also snacks, drinks, and local delicacies available throughout the park.

It was not just a fun experience, it felt like a dream come true for many who never imagined something this modern would be built right in the heart of Awka.

Built for the People of Anambra

Solution Fun City didn’t just happen overnight. It’s part of a well-thought-out project by Governor Charles Soludo to create smart, livable cities in Anambra. Before the park was built, the land it now sits on was waterlogged and underused. Today, that same land has been transformed into a vibrant space full of life, laughter, and opportunities.

The park is already making a positive impact by:

• Creating hundreds of jobs for young people in areas like customer service, ride operations, security, maintenance, food services, and more

• Attracting local and national tourism, which will boost hospitality, transport, and retail

• Giving families and schools a clean, safe place to organize outings, picnics, and celebrations

• Encouraging small businesses around the area to grow and thrive

In May 2025, Solution Fun City was quietly used during the Children’s Day celebration where orphans and children from across the state were invited for a special treat. For many of them, it was their first time seeing or experiencing a water slide, a carousel, or even cotton candy. The smiles on their faces said it all.

For residents who have long wished for better recreational spaces, this park is a welcome development. It shows that leisure and family life are now being taken seriously in the state’s development plans.

A Bright Future for Fun in the South East

Solution Fun City is already making waves across Nigeria not just because of the fun it offers, but because of what it represents, a new beginning for family leisure in the South East. For decades, places like Lagos and Abuja led the way in parks and entertainment centers. Now, Awka is taking its rightful place on the map.

More features are expected to be added in the future, including special festivals, live concerts, seasonal decorations, and possibly a membership program for regular visitors. The park will also be open for bookings for birthday parties, school excursions, youth camps, and church events.

Already, the internet is buzzing. On Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, attendees of the opening ceremony have been posting videos and reviews. You’ll see clips of kids jumping into pools, groups dancing during Flavour’s performance, and families snapping photos beside the Ferris wheel.

People praised the clean environment, friendly staff, smooth crowd control, and how safe they felt inside the park. Some also noted how refreshing it was to have something so entertaining and modern in the South East without needing to travel to Lagos or outside the country.

The online buzz isn’t just hype, it reflects genuine excitement and pride. Ndi Anambra are happy to finally have a place they can call their own when it comes to modern fun and relaxation.

Conclusion

If you’re in Anambra or planning to visit, Solution Fun City is a must-see. It’s not just a park, it’s a symbol of progress, unity, and quality family life. Whether you’re looking for thrills, water fun, games, or a peaceful place to relax, this new destination has it all.

Thanks to Governor Soludo’s vision and the hard work of the teams involved, Awka now has a tourist-worthy attraction that can compete with any amusement park in Nigeria.

So grab your friends, bring the kids, and come experience it for yourself.
