The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park is no longer open.
The ministry has announced the closure of Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, which is being upgraded.
Authorities have declared a temporary closure of the memorial park.
The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park has been closed until further notice, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture on May 28, 2022.
The facility's temporary closure, effective May 27, 2022, is signed by the Ministry's Chief Director, John Yao Agbeko, and "is to allow for major works to upgrade the Memorial Park to a standard that befits the stature of the Former President and boost the park's attractiveness and the overall tourism performance of the country."
The Ministry has expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by its actions.
The park, dedicated to the late Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first Prime Minister and President, is located in the heart of Accra and is designed to reflect and celebrate Nkrumah's life.
The park, which opened in 1992, includes symbolic statues and a mausoleum, as well as Nkrumah's bronze statue "Forward ever, backward never" in the center.
Kwame Nkrumah and his wife Fathia Nkrumah are also buried there.

The National People's Party (NPP) is holding a regional executive election.
On Saturday, the Ashanti NPP will hold elections.
NPP is on the verge of breaking through the eight-figure barrier.
The New Patriotic Party's Ashanti Regional Council of Elders has threatened to boycott the party's regional executive elections.
The Council of Elders' leadership has stated that they will not participate in the election because the names of some of their members have been removed from the electoral register.
Chairman of the Council of Elders, Reverend Mark Adu-Gyamfi, said six out of ten of the Council's members' names were missing from the election album during a press conference on Saturday, May 28, 2022.
He claimed that the names had been swapped out for the names of unknown people.
Rev Adu Gyamfi, who described the development as disrespectful to the Council of Elders, said the council would petition the party's leadership for redress.
"We submitted ten names for the polls, but six of them were removed from the album and replaced with unknown names. We don't know those people's names, so we won't vote tomorrow," the Chairman explained.
He went on to say that the situation works against the party's overall goal of breaking the traditional eight-year political cycle by retaining power in 2024.
"With this attitude, the NPP will find it difficult to break the 8. As a result, I'm not going to bother campaigning for the party any longer," the Chairman grumbled.
