The Rattray Park, Kumasi City was jointly commissioned by the former president, John Mahama and the Asantehene , Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in 2015.

The park was named after Captain Robert Rattray , a Scottish who was the Assistant Colonial Secretary in the Gold Coast and clerk to the Legislative Assembly of Accra in 1919.

It forms part of efforts to green Kumasi and restore it to its past glory as the Garden City of West Africa.
