Abstract

Prior to the enactment of the Persons with Disability Act 715 in 2006, Ghana had four stadiums; the Kumasi and Accra Sports Stadiums were built in the nineteen fifties and sixties but refurbished around 2006 when the Sekondi-Takoradi and Tamale Sports Stadiums were built. The main aim of this study is to determine the accessibility of these four stadiums to spectators who are Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). Facilities at these stadiums were audited to determine their compliance with accessibility legislation, standards, guides, codes etc. The results showed that although the latter-built stadiums were slightly more accessible to PWDs, all four stadiums were generally not very accessible. This study provides vital data to policy makers for the future design, construction and management of stadiums in Ghana.
