Independence Square, with the Black Star Gate at one end and the sea at the other. It is a parade ground rather than a park, so there is not a great deal to do beyond walk it and photograph it, but it is the image of Accra and it takes twenty minutes.

It sits next to Osu Castle and a short drive from Jamestown, so it slots into a morning rather than needing one.
