What is Accra Leisure and Recreational Park (Geese Park)?
The Accra Leisure and Recreational Park, popularly known as Geese Park, was commissioned in January 2025 on land adjacent to Asomdwee Park near Osu Castle. It is a Ghana Tourism Authority project with the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly, and phase one includes a children's playground, a mini zoo, a scenic fishpond, a skating park, a snack shop, a restaurant and an event centre for conferences and celebrations.
The park is designed to connect with Asomdwee Park and become part of the Osu tourist enclave. Note that some reports in late 2025 suggested the park was not fully open or was overgrown, so confirm before travelling.
