The 2000-year group of Accra Academy, known as Bleoo 2G, has commissioned and handed over the Beatrice Lokko Memorial Eco Park to the school. The park, which honors the late Mrs Beatrice Lokko, served as the headmistress of the all-boys institution from 1997 to 2005, was unveiled during the school's Homecoming event on Saturday.
The ceremony was led by Mr Eric Ebo Sey, the headmaster of Accra Academy, and John Osei Wusu, a member of the Bleoo 2G-year group. The park, half the size of a standard football pitch, was presented to the school's headmaster, Mr Eric Ebo Sey, and the governing board during the event. The Bleoo 2G-year group described the park as a sanctuary, a revival of the former 'Aduase Academy' for students, and a place where students' dreams were nurtured and nicknames were given.
The headmaster, Mr Eric Ebo Sey, expressed his satisfaction with the timing of the park's construction, emphasizing that Beatrice Lokko not only spent most of her career at the school but was also married there. The park, consisting of four wings named after the top four contributors, aims to provide a recreational area while emphasizing the school's ecological and sustainability goals.
