Legon Botanical Gardens
University of Ghana Botanical Gardens
A large botanical garden next to the University of Ghana, with a canopy walkway, rope courses, and kayaking. It is popular with families on weekends.
The garden belongs to the University of Ghana. After renovation, it became a leisure park in the north of the city. It has forest trails, a tree canopy walkway, high ropes courses, a children's playground, lakeside kayaking, and picnic lawns, with each activity charging a separate fee. Local families crowd in on weekends and holidays, while weekdays are quieter. It is located in East Legon, about 30 minutes by taxi from the city center, and you can also visit the University of Ghana campus on the way.
