Patrons, vendors to pay to fly kites at Botanical Gardens
– garbage bags would be distributed free of cost to groups entering the Park
Patrons who intend to vend and those wishing to bring their vehicles (buses, cars, motor-cycles) into the Botanical Gardens and Joe Vieira Park tomorrow, will be charged a nominal fee, according to the National Parks Commission.
The commission, in a statement yesterday, noted that monies collected will be used to offset expenses incurred in cleaning the Gardens and Park of the usually heavy garbage and debris left in the aftermath of kite-flying and picnicking activities associated with Easter Monday in Georgetown.
It added that garbage bags would be distributed free of cost to groups entering the Park, with the view that they will be collected periodically during that day to ease the clean-up exercise.
Entrance to the Botanic Gardens will be the Western Main Gate on Vlissengen Road. The exit will be the Eastern Gate.
Similar fees will be charged at the National Park by the duly authorized franchisee. Entrance will be at the Carifesta Avenue Gate and exit, the Albert Street Gate.
Admission to the Joe Vieira Park will be free between 06:00 hrs and 18:00 hrs for picnickers; those wishing to vend and Park will also pay a nominal fee. However, vending of beverages is strictly prohibited except by the duly authorized franchisee.
