The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) under its 2019 Action Plan, is going to provide additional recreational facilities and services at the Rattray Park to generate more revenue.
Mr. Osei Assibey-Antwi, the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), said a medical unit will be established at the Park to aid swift response to any emergency situation.

He was addressing the third ordinary meeting of the assembly and said the goal was to increase revenue generation.
The Park, inaugurated about five years ago, has been enjoying massive patronage – both by the locals and international visitors, especially on festive occasions.
Mr. Assibey-Antwi said the staff there would undergo training in hospitality management to help them to be more professional in the performance of their duties.
Currently, the fountain water facility (pond) at the park is being rehabilitated.
The MCE reiterated the assembly’s resolve to partner the private sector to develop the tourism potentials of the city.
This, he said, tied in with the ‘Keep Kumasi Clean and Green’ project, which had been designed to restore the metropolis to its former ‘Garden City’ status.
