Vendors and patrons to pay to enter Botanical Gardens, Joe Viera park

Mar 28, 2013 News

 

The National Parks Commission will be charging vendors and patrons who wish to enter with their vehicles (buses, cars, motor-cycles) into the northern side of Joe Viera Park (unfenced) and the Botanical Gardens. The price, according to the commission, is nominal.
The organization noted that all the monies collected will be used to offset expenses incurred in cleaning the Parks of the garbage and debris left in the aftermath of kite-flying and picnicking activities associated with Easter Monday.
Garbage bags will be distributed free of cost to groups entering these areas, with the view that they will be collected periodically during the day to ease the clean-up exercise. They stated that the entrance to the Botanical Gardens will be the western main gate on Vlissengen Road. The exit will be the Eastern Gate on Sheriff Street.
Similarly, fees will be charged at the National Park by the duly authorized franchisee.  Entrance to the Park will be at the Carifesta Avenue Gate and the exit will be the Albert Street Gate.
Admission to the southern side of Joe Vieira Park will be free between 06.00hrs and 18.00hrs. However, vending of beverages will be strictly prohibited except by the duly authorized franchisee.
