…project to be completed in 2nd Quarter of 2025
Construction has commenced on a new recreational park at Number 63 Beach, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), with materials being mobilised and work already underway. 
This transformative project, designed to include modern amenities, aims to enhance the area’s aesthetic appeal while providing a safe and welcoming space for families to enjoy recreational activities.
The initiative is being led by the Office of the First Lady, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Works and the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Six, as part of the National Beautification Project.
In an interview with Guyana Times, Ravin Singh, Director of Projects, Policy & Public Affairs at the Office of the President – Guyana, highlighted that Number 63 Beach has long been a popular destination, frequently attracting large crowds from Berbice and surrounding areas.
On this point he highlighted that stakeholders have decided to transform the area into more family friendly recreational area.
“You know that’s an area that’s been frequented or is frequented rather by people living in Berbice, you know, on a daily basis, not even weekly. So, it’s a space that has always wanted to be developed and so, you know, since First Lady introduced her National Beautification Project, she’s been trying to not only focus on region 4 but ensure that, you know, other regions are provided with safe recreational spaces, 63 Beach being one.”
Moreover, with works already underway, Singh highlighted that the project is anticipated to be completed by the second quarter of this year.
“The work has started there’s a timeline for the second quarter of this year. For completion that is, so by half of this year the project should be completed. Right, they’re building a gazebo, you’ll have some vending kiosks, there’s a children’s play park, and additional recreational spaces around there for like people to exercise and so on.”
The National Beautification Project provides leadership in scenic conservation and revitalisation as a way to motivate and accelerate community renewal and reinvestment. The National Beautification Project not only aims to enhance the scenic qualities of Guyana’s roadways and urban and rural spaces, but it also strives to foster a more environmentally friendly society.
