This is the current state of Old Adansiman park being developed by Doctor Boakye, the sitting member of Parliament for Obuasi East, at New Akaporiso, off Stamford Bridge Junction. The second of such facility after Boete. 'Pɔmpɔɔla' park is his next target and other communities.



The facility is about 90% complete. A bore-hole for constant water supply, reserve stands, fencing, Net, water hoses and sprinklers are all available. The metallic poles are currently being worked on and will soon be erected for official commissioning of the park.

I mowed/cut the grass just a fortnight ago while the Mp himself and other few committed people did the watering, cutlass weeding, removal of stones and unwanted weeds. I touched base last night from Kumasi and this morning I decided to come around to inspect it.

That has been the kind of help we have decided to, besides our work, offer in realising his dream of unearthing the pool of football talents we have in Obuasi. You don't love or play football more than anyone.


These facilities are for the youth, the community and the entire district (not for him) and shall surely be handed over when the right things are put in place.

Our poor attitude of maintenance and management of public property has culminated for what you think is delaying the handing over. The right football people who are committed should be seen managing such facilities. Since the commissioning (Easter Monday), the new Boete Park has witnessed more football matches than Lenclay stadium this year and if care isn't taken, the facility won't last before some people start crucifying the man.

Let's all support people with good intention to help Adansiman.
