The facility had suffered neglect for about eight years, leaving it in poor condition and abandoned.
Following recent rehabilitation works supervised by the National Sports Authority under the auspices of Director-General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah and Western Regional Director Joseph Alarbi Bortey, the stadium has received a facelift.
The pitch has regained its natural green look, and the damaged seats have been repaired.
