Legon Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden in Legon district, Ghana

Legon Botanical Gardens covers 50 hectares of natural vegetation inside the University of Ghana in Accra, owned by the university and run with the Department of Botany and Mulch Company Ltd. The grounds hold lakes, woodland and a children's playground, with a high rope course, a junior rope course, a canopy walk, canoeing, fishing, cycling and bird watching. The gardens were permanently closed as of 15 May 2025.

The gardens were established alongside the development of the University of Ghana campus and served as a learning resource from the start. Since then, they have remained an important part of the university's infrastructure for studying nature.

The gardens serve as a gathering place where locals experience community events and environmental education programs. Many visitors come here to spend time surrounded by nature and connect with conservation efforts.

The gardens are permanently closed, as confirmed on 15 May 2025, so there is no opening time to plan around. The site lies within the University of Ghana in Legon, in the Ayawaso West Municipal District, and is reached via Haatso-Atomic Road. Check locally before travelling, since the closure means the playground, rope courses and canoeing are not available.

The site features an elevated canopy walkway that takes visitors high above the ground to view tree canopies up close. Alongside this, there are several rope courses with different challenges for adventurous guests.
