Accra - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you feel that it is safe to walk, run or hike outside? Are there areas where bike riding is possible? What is the availability and safety of outdoor space for exercising? Are these easily accessible?
There are some newer gyms that have been built that cover all areas of exercise. You would have to research to see which ones have the equipment to your liking. - Jul 2025
Yes, I have been out early morning and late at night with no issues or fear. I would recommend riding bikes, hiking and / or running, there are no sidewalks. I avoid unnecessary walks also due to the lack of sidewalks also. I see plenty of people still running though, even groups of local runners early in the morning. - Jun 2025
Safe enough but absolutely not fun. No sidewalks, open sewage, dust, potholes, pollution and erratic drivers. Haven't used my bike once since we've been here (was an avid bike commuter before). Hiking is possible if you're ready to organize it but you need a guide and it's not close by. There aren't any woods or parks nearby to jog or walk in, that I know of. - Aug 2024
