Several news hubs reported Friday that the facility was closed down by officials of the Internal Revenue Service of the Ghana Revenue Authority(GRA) due to non-payment of taxes by managers of the facility.

The $4.4-million facility is touted to be one stop venue for recreation in the garden city-Kumasi and it is said to be the biggest in the West African sub-region.

The centre remains a brain child of former Mayor of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly- Kojo Bonsu who was recently removed from office over some skirmishes that visited the Assembly.
