On Easter Monday, a nominal fee will be charged by the National Parks Commission for vendors and patrons wishing to take their vehicles – buses, cars, SUVs, motorcycles – into the Botanical Gardens and the northern side
of Joe Vieira Park. According to a statement yesterday, similarly, fees will be charged at the National Park by a duly authorized franchise holder.
“These fees will primarily be used to offset the expenses incurred in cleaning the Gardens and Parks of the usual garbage and debris left in the aftermath of kite flying and picnicking at these venues,” a statement from the National Parks Commission said yesterday.
At the Botanical Gardens and Zoo, the opening of the gardens at the Vlissengen Road entrance to vehicular traffic will be from 06:00hrs until 17:30 hrs (5:30 pm).
Vehicles leaving the gardens will have to use the Mandela Avenue gate, the notice said. “The Vlissengen Road gate will be closed at 17:30 hrs (5:30 pm), and all vehicles must exit the Garden via the Mandela Avenue Gate by 18:30 hrs (6:30 pm).”
The commission also made it clear that entrance to the Botanical Gardens will not be permitted through the Mandela Avenue gate, which is located at the eastern end.
Vehicles will not be permitted to park on or in front of the zoo access road.
At the National Park, Thomas Lands, all events on Easter Monday will be managed by an authorized franchise.
At the Joe Vieira Park, West Bank Demerara, the gates will be open to vehicular traffic from 07:30 hrs.
The commission said that additional trash receptacles and bags will be made available to the public at these locations.
“Patrons are asked to dispose of their waste in these receptacles. Park Volunteers will be present to answer any questions patrons may have and provide garbage bags.”
