The launch of Nationalism Park invites all citizens to reflect on the core values of patriotism, unity, and progress. It aims to serve as a hub for dialogue, education, and celebration, fostering a sense of shared purpose and belonging.
Speaking about the initiative, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Mr. Akwasi Agyeman, remarked, “Nationalism Park is a site for national, community, and social cohesion, where Ghanaians can come together to honor our past heroes and leaders.”
The park is a collaborative effort involving the Ghana Tourism Authority, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly, and the National Security, designed to transform the site into a world-class tourist destination.
Nationalism Park features include a city lighting park, monuments honoring Nii Kwabena Bonnie III and symbolizing national pride with an egg on rocks, a restaurant, a snack bar, a children’s play area, and other attractions. Furthermore, the park is expected to boost tourism by driving local economic activity, creating jobs, and enhancing hospitality services in the surrounding areas.
