In a bid to elevate the National Park experience, the Protected Areas Commission (PAC) has announced an ambitious plan to introduce a slew of modern features that would transform this recreational spot into a hub of activity and convenience.

Unveiled on Friday, the PAC’s Zoning Plan outlines an array of exciting additions, among the standout features being implementation of free Wi-Fi hotspots, facilitating seamless connectivity for visitors who are eager to share their outdoor adventures, or simply stay connected.
The plan includes provisions for recharge stations tailored to electric vehicles, marking a step towards sustainable transportation within the park’s premises. And thrill-seekers can look forward to paddle-boating activities adding a new dimension of aquatic enjoyment to the park’s offerings.
In a move geared towards promoting health and safety, the PAC’s plan incorporates the strategic placement of first-aid hubs throughout the park, ensuring prompt assistance in case of emergency. Moreover, visitors will find scattered across the park’s grounds QR codes that unlock a treasure trove of fitness tips and guidelines when scanned — a modern twist on promoting healthy lifestyles amidst nature’s beauty.

Yet perhaps the most eagerly anticipated addition is the establishment of a Jurassic-themed Promenade that is set to transport visitors into a prehistoric world teeming with adventure and wonder. This is expected to be provided by MovieTowne.
PAC Chairman Robert Persaud has emphasised that this undertaking is designed to elevate the country’s green spaces, offering a unique blend of recreation, education, and conservation.
He said the significance of the plan lies in facilitating a seamless array of activities within the National Park while mitigating potential incidents. He underscored the crucial role of effective space management, particularly in light of Guyana’s ongoing challenges with waste management and conservation strategies.
“This park is yours, and we want you to care it. We want you to use it in a way that others can also benefit from it. Many of you would have seen what happened the morning after Easter. It was nothing but disgraceful and embarrassing, as a Guyanese, to see families come here [the national park] and, rather than to manage and take care of their waste, it was just thrown here,” he explained.
Persaud further explained that assigning specific areas to management teams ensures a structured approach to maintenance. This, in turn, contributes significantly to upholding cleanliness and safety standards throughout the park’s grounds.
