The Bangr-Weoogo urban park (area: 2.63 km2 (1 sq mi)), before colonialism, belonged to the Mosse chiefs. Considering it a sacred forest, many went there for traditional initiations or for refuge. The French colonists, disregarding its local significance and history, established it as a park in the 1930s. In 1985, renovations were done in the park. In January 2001, the park was renamed “Parc Urbain Bangr-Weoogo,” meaning "the urban park of the forest of knowledge."
we say its a nice park. We went for a walk round it to get a feel for the place on New Years eve, when it was a cool and overcast day (didn't reach 30 due to the dust in the air), and even got up early last SUNDAY for a bike ride round making the most of the cool morning climate
there isn't a lot to do there, but its nice to be able to stretch your legs unhindered, and to greet the various park-goers who are cycling, jogging and walking too
