Achimota Forest
An urban forest reserve in northern Accra with trails, horse riding, and an eco-park, ideal for morning runs and family outings.
Achimota Forest is the largest green space within Accra. Parts of it have been developed into an eco-tourism park, with forest trails, bicycle and horse riding activities, picnic areas, and a small animal enclosure. On weekends, locals come here to exercise and take wedding photos, while weekdays are quiet. There is a small entrance fee. Signage inside the park is limited, so it is best to stick to the main trails. It is next to the N1 highway and about 20 minutes by car from the city center.
