This park lays within a fenced in area that covers 126 acres/51 hectares. After we paid our D150 (per person) entrance fee and began our walk through a small path, I thought that we had wasted our time and money, THEN we saw the monkeys!!!!!! Watch me as I try over and over and over to (mostly unsuccessfully) feed the green (also known as the sabaeus) monkeys shelled peanuts. I did not know that they preferred apples more. ???? Mrs. Dee and everyone else brought apples, they had a more interactive time feeding the green monkeys. And they sure had ALOT of fun. The monkeys were very delicate and their hands felt like pillows, you sometimes wondered if they were really touching you. We didn’t get a chance to see the Temminck's red colobus monkeys, and the Campbell's mona monkey were shy, but you should expect to see them, various birds, goats (yes and they’re cuties), giant termite mounds, cows, monitor lizards mongooses, bushbabys, snakes???? and many more! We wish we had more time in this sanctuary, we had a blast and you will too! Btw way everyone call this park Monkey Park ???? _________________________________________________________________

A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of wild nature for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined National Park as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people, Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a national park in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. Some would say that the first official national park to be designated as such at its creation was Mackinac Island, legislated in 1875. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.
The largest national park in the world meeting the IUCN definition is the Northeast Greenland National Park, which was established in 1974. According to the IUCN, 6,555 national parks worldwide met its criteria in 2006. IUCN is still discussing the parameters of defining a national park.
National parks are almost always open to visitors. Most national parks provide outdoor recreation and camping opportunities as well as classes designed to educate the public on the importance of conservation and the natural wonders of the land in which the national park is located.
