Hon. Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, the Member of Parliament for Techiman South, and Hon. Benjamin Gyarko, the Municipal Chief Executive, recently brought Techiman’s burgeoning Urban Park into the spotlight by hosting sports journalists from nine local radio stations for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour.
The visit aimed to offer firsthand insight into the sweeping progress of this ambitious project, positioned to become a major recreational centre for the Techiman South constituency. Designed as a cornerstone of community enhancement, the Techiman Urban Park promises modern leisure spaces, lush greenery, and sports facilities to encourage an active, healthy lifestyle for all residents.
From start to finish, the journalists were immersed in the developments, getting up close with the project’s progress. Phase one, well underway, showcases impressive advancements. Guided by project managers and workers on-site, the media team witnessed the construction efforts, equipment installations, and detailed planning that are bringing the park’s grand vision to life.
In a spirited discussion, Hon. Korsah and MCE Gyarko shared their hopes for the Urban Park, describing it as a long-awaited project that would enrich local life by providing a designated venue for family outings, community events, and daily exercise. “This isn’t just a park,” Hon. Korsah noted. “It’s a gift to Techiman—a place for community, connection, and well-being.”
MCE Gyarko echoed these sentiments, pointing to the immense social and health benefits the park would offer. He highlighted how accessible recreational spaces could become a catalyst for youth engagement, keeping younger generations involved in positive activities and fostering unity across age groups.
Journalists seized the chance to ask questions and gain insights directly from project leaders. They covered a range of topics, from funding allocations and timelines to the technical specifics of the park’s sports facilities. For many of the journalists, this visit offered a rare chance to witness up-close the city’s transformation, and they commended the MPs and local government for prioritizing such a vital project.
Techiman Urban Park, with its promise to open doors to sports and recreational facilities like never before, is not just a construction project—it’s set to become a living symbol of progress. The visit marked another step in Techiman’s journey toward becoming a healthier, more vibrant community for all its residents.
For the people of Techiman South, the message is clear: brighter, active days are on the horizon, courtesy of their local leaders and a vision for a thriving, engaged community.
