Walking

If you are in Osu, start by heading towards the Osu Castle, located at the end of Castle Road. From the castle, walk straight along the beach road (known as the 'Osu Beach Road') in the direction of Labadi. After a short walk, you will see Asomdwe Park on your left. The park is situated just off the main road, and there are signs indicating its entrance. This is approximately a 15-minute walk.

You can catch a tro-tro (shared minibus) from any major junction in Osu. Look for a tro-tro headed towards 'Labadi' or 'Tema' and get off at the Osu Castle stop. After disembarking, walk towards the beach road and follow the instructions above to reach Asomdwe Park. The ride usually costs around GHS 2-3, and the journey takes about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic.

Bicycle Rental

If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bicycle from a nearby rental shop in Osu. Once you have your bike, head towards the Osu Castle and then follow the beach road as described previously.
