A Serene Escape: The Sculpture Garden in Owerri

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in the central area of Owerri, start at the popular landmark, Imo State University. From the main gate of the university, head south towards Okigwe Road. Continue walking straight for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach a major intersection. At this intersection, you will see a large roundabout known as 'Orji Roundabout.' Take the second exit from the roundabout onto the road leading towards the Owerri Mall. Walk straight for another 1 kilometer until you reach a fork in the road. Take the left fork and continue for another 500 meters. The entrance to Sculpture Garden will be on your right, marked by distinctive sculptures and greenery.

• Motorcycle Taxi (Okada)

  If you prefer a quicker option, you can take a motorcycle taxi (locally known as 'Okada'). From any location in Owerri, simply tell the rider 'Sculpture Garden' or show them the address: G24R+H3F, Owerri 460108, Imo. The riders are generally familiar with the area. The ride should take around 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. They will drop you off right at the entrance, where you can see the sculptures as you approach.

• Bicycle

  For those who enjoy cycling, you can rent a bicycle from one of the local rental shops in Owerri. Start from the city center and ride towards Okigwe Road. Follow the same route as walking: head south, continue to Orji Roundabout, take the second exit towards Owerri Mall, and then take the left fork at the next junction. The Sculpture Garden is approximately 3 kilometers from the center, and it's a pleasant ride with some scenic views of the area.
