Kumasi, the capital city of the Ashanti Region in Ghana is the focus of this research. The Garden City as it is popularly known had an abundance of natural vegetation hence its name. During the colonial era, the colonial masters found the potential and necessity in establishing parks to bring people closer to nature whiles encouraging leisure and recreation. The Kumasi Children’s Park at Amakom was one of the five major parks established in Kumasi due to its convenient location. Unfortunately the park had only one group of people in mind (children) and so gradually deteriorated as patronising went down and maintenance was waived off. The park is now a den for robbers and in a poor state.

This offered an opportunity to revive, regenerate and sustain the park to bring more natural vegetation into the community. This urban, ecological park not only bridges the gap between nature and humans but also encourages bio diversity for an improved ecosystem, highlights the some parts of the Ashanti culture and promotes communal interactions
