Turn Nationalism Park into a recreational facility

Dear Editor,

I wish to commend the public agency responsible for the rehabilitation of the Nationalism Park in Osu, Accra.

The facelift has given the facility a new look and has no doubt beautified the area which shares the same environment with national monuments like the Black Star Square, Accra Sports Stadium and the Arch.

What is not known is the exact plan for the park which currently lies idle and under lock and key.

A few years ago, the park was turned into a recreational facility during the Christmas celebration and was decorated with several items that attracted a lot of patrons.

Both young and old frequented the facility for the period of the yuletide and provided a huge market for local traders who cashed in.

However, the facility has become idle again despite the renovation works.

Criminals take advantage of the usual serene atmosphere to perpetuate evil on unsuspecting commuters walking around late.

Thankfully, the renovation has ensured some sanity in the area but the silence on what it is intended to be done with is what is boggling the minds of people.

I would want to suggest the place is turned into a mini recreation centre for kids and families to have some fun.

With the collapse of the Efua Sudderland Park, the city lacks such parks to provide some entertainment for people to distress and a move like this would surely help.

Lying just behind the Accra Sports Stadium, it could also serve as a fun park on match days for fans who want to celebrate the victories into the evenings. Thank You for the space.
