The park was begun in 1979 under the name Accra Children's Park, also called Ridge Park, on 14.83 acres opposite the site of the National Theatre at West Ridge. It was later renamed after Efua Sutherland, the Ghanaian playwright and children's author. As of 2019 it had seen little development since its inception.

The park is named after Efua Sutherland, the Ghanaian playwright and children's author whose work shaped theatre for young audiences in Ghana. It was renamed in her honour after opening in 1979 as Accra Children's Park, also called Ridge Park. The name change tied the grounds to her writing for children rather than to a general heritage display.

The park is easy to reach on foot and offers open spaces where children of all ages can play. Come early in the day or on weekdays to avoid crowds, and look for shaded spots under trees when the sun is strong.

The park covers 14.83 acres opposite the National Theatre at West Ridge, and as of 2019 it had seen little development since its inception. Its size and central Accra location make it one of the larger reserved grounds for children in the city.
