in Traveling Steem2 days ago (edited)

Imagine a motor-park that's just a stone-throw away from your home, school or place of work.
The Uyo city motor park is just the perfect one for me.

Along the Ring- Road 3 , close to the Roundabout which leads to the stadium, Airport, Federal University of Uyo and Uyo Plaza is where the Motor park is located.

Before now, I'd been using the road to school for quite a number of years,and there was this piece of land that's just there, not used but fenced round.
Late last year , I started seeing some construction workers on the land. The bushes there were already cleared and work had already begun.
When the structures were erected, I thought they were building a mini market, Since there was non in that locality.

Last week after school holidays , I was back to to attend my Students Work Experience Program . On my way to school, I saw something captivating. This sign post;

Since I was late for school activities, I decided to just go to school first then when returning I branched there to have a look.

Since there's an already existing park , people prefer going to ITAM park which is also in Uyo to board vehicle. Most of them haven't heard about this one yet.
