The Park was constructed to preserve the history and cultural heritage of Nigerians. Monuments in the park reveal the Lagos colonial heritage and history of Her Majesty's Broad Street prisons. It was built to commemorate the 50th anniversary independence celebration in October, 2010. The Park serves as a National Memorial, a Historical landmark, a Cultural site, Arts and Recreation centre.

A Visit to Freedom Park Lagos | Her Majesty's Prison
Freedom Park is a memorial and leisure park area in the middle of downtown Lagos in Lagos Island, Nigeria which was formerly Her Majesty's Broad Street Prison. The Park was constructed to preserve the history and cultural heritage of Nigerians. Today, Freedom park has become a venue for diverse social events and recreational entertainment.

Lagos'' historic buildings crumbling into dust
(17 Apr 2012) AP Television
Lagos - 25 March, 2012
1.Various of Old Secretariat building built circa 1895
2. Close up of sign reading (in English) Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice
3. Tilt down exterior
4. Interior, pan of roof
5. Tourists viewing roof
6. Setup of architect John Godwin from Britain who has lived in Nigeria since 1954
7. Close up of plans
8. SOUNDBITE (English) John Godwin, Architect :
We use to have building bylaws. And you have to say that in many areas of Lagos, those building bylaws have been totally ignored.
Lagos, 1 April, 2012
9. Various of The Water House, built by Candido da Rocha
10. Various of the Doherty Villa built circa 1895
11. SOUNDBITE (English) John Godwin, Architect :
A lot of those old houses, in fact 99.9 percent have disappeared. But there are still a few. And I am glad to say the NCMM, the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, a few of the officers in that organisation, are trying very hard to preserve some of them. They are part of not just their heritage but our heritage as well.
Lagos, 25 March, 2012
12. Wide of Western House in Lagos built circa 1967 - the only surviving office building with steel frame
13. Tilt down of Independence House, a 25-storey building now empty - a gift from the British to Nigeria ahead of its independence in 1960
14. Top shot of crumbling historic building
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Desmond Majekodunmi, President of Legacy (organisation working to protect the city''s architectural history) :
There was a strong Portuguese influence here, and you see some remnants of that. There was a strong Brazilian influence and you see quite a lot of that still displayed on Lagos Island. A lot of these were returned slaves who had now decided they were going to settle in Lagos and they brought back with them their own building culture. You also see the edifices of colonial tropical architecture.
Lagos, 1 April, 2012
16. Various of Ilojo Bar built circa 1880 - an example of a Brazilian style building built by ex-slaves returning from Brazil
Lagos, 25 March 2012
17. SOUNDBITE (English) John Godwin, Architect :
We will restore Ilojo Bar, which is one of the old Brazilian buildings, and many others that are around. When I say many (holds up hands) count them on two hands, something like that. Still good, still got families there who has some respect for their family and would like to keep them. But they need finance to do that. I mean Ilojo Bar is going to cost over fifty million naira (318,000 US dollars) really to put it right.
Lagos, 1 April, 2012
18. Various of The Church Missionary Society (CMS) Bookshop house and tower built in 1973
19. Statue of Nigerian nationalist Herbert Macaulay
20. Wide CMS building
Lagos, 25 March 2012
21. SOUNDBITE (English) Desmond Majekodunmi, President of Legacy (organisation working to protect the city''s architectural history) :
In this age now when we are looking for carbon friendly buildings, some of these old British colonial structures were about the most carbon neutral buildings you would ever find anywhere.
22. Various of Old Secretariat building
23. Various of Maja house
24. Wall from the city''s old Broad Street Prison with sign reading (in English) Freedom Park, Lagos
25. Wide of Freedom Park
26. Wide top shot of King''s College, Lagos Island built 1908
27. Various top shots of Lagos
LEADIN
The expansion of Nigeria''s largest city, Lagos, means many historic buildings are beginning to crumble to dust.
It will take millions of dollars to repair them or they''ll be lost forever.
STORYLINE
The U-shaped secretariat with its two towers once dominated the island''s waterfront, greeting those arriving in the city.
