Apart from the canopy walk ways, the place can boost of a different kinds of trees including herbal gardens that has been lasted over 100 years at the park. Some of the names of the trees are African Oak also known as Danwuma in Twi among other trees.

At the park, Zipline has also constructed a platform that connect tourists from the canopy walk ways through to the grounds an exciting experience Kofi Adoma had without fear of whatsoever to encourage everyone to experience same.

Kofi Adoma with full of courage and boldness did his best to explore the place immediately he was welcomed to the park though some of his camera crew couldn't managed to walk on the walk ways except with only one cameraman Atwu. 

Kofi therefore inscribed his name on the Africa Oak tree on the canopy walk way. Adding that if Ghanaians will have any place to visit other than abroad Bonsu Eco Park is another exciting place one can visit to observe the creatures natural beauty. 

The gardens is located at Bonsu on Koforidua road and advised those who travel to abroad for the purpose of tourism should rather consider the local tourism sites in Ghana.
