Abetifi Stone Age Park is an eco-park located in Abetifi in the Kwahu East District in the Eastern Region of Ghana.[1]
History
The park is an ancestral home of the Kwahu people and sits on a 52-acre land.[2][3]
The land was gifted to Mr. Ben Addo (also known as Benjamin Addo),[4] the founder of the park by Kwahu Adontenhene and Chief of Abetifi known as Achamfour Asiedu Agyeman III.[1] The land used to be a landfill site before it was changed to an eco-park. The land has a cave called Bosompra which dates over 12,500 years ago and considered to be a god.[2][5][6]
In April 2023, Nana Akufo-Addo commissioned the park.[2][4][7]
