Sited on garden space along Oworonshoki expressway, this allotment garden pilot project site is accessible by Oworonshoki, and Ifako (sawmill) communities. The garden is on 6,000 square meter loop owned by Lagos state government. Oworonshoki is a community located at the bank of Lagos lagoon covering a total landmass of about 300 hectares with over 2000 building footprints. Dominated by low to medium working class, Oworonshoki is a part of Kosofe local government area. Oworonshoki community has two major markets located at Olojo and Odo-Eran. The garden remains a public space used by Oworonshoki youths for recreational activities due to lack of public open spaces, gardens or parks within the boundary of Oworonshoki community.
