Tips for Visiting Bangr Weogo Park

  • Visit at dawn or late afternoon to escape the midday heat and see locals exercising, practicing dance or tai chi.
  • Bring insect repellent in the evenings-pockets of greenery in the city attract mosquitoes after dusk.
  • Look for the informal vendors at the park edges selling grilled corn and fresh juice-small interactions that reveal daily Ouagadougou life.
