FIRST LADY, Mrs. Arya Ali, has announced that eight new recreational parks are currently under construction across Guyana and will be completed and delivered to the public by the end of 2025.
In a recent update shared on her social media platforms, Mrs. Ali highlighted the significant strides her Office has made in revitalising public spaces through the National Beautification Project, a flagship initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of life for families and communities nationwide.

“All across Guyana we are investing heavily in public recreational spaces for families and communities. Since 2020, we have developed 11 recreational spaces under the National Beautification Project; and we’re just getting started. Eight more parks are under construction and will be delivered to you, the people, before the end of 2025,” the First Lady shared.
The new parks are being strategically built in communities across the country, providing safe, welcoming spaces where children can play, families can relax, and communities can connect.
The First Lady emphasised that these projects go beyond simply beautifying the country — they are designed to foster stronger, healthier communities.

Since assuming office in 2020, Mrs. Ali has spearheaded the development of 11 parks and public spaces. Notable projects delivered under her leadership include the Independence Park in Anna Regina, the Children’s Play Park at the National Park, the Kingston Seawall Esplanade, Zia’s Play Park in Leonora, and the newly commissioned play park at the May 26 Nursery Complex in Melanie.

Earlier this month, Mrs. Ali revealed that construction had begun on another major project — a new recreational park at Unity Beach on the East Coast of Demerara. This upcoming facility is expected to feature a promenade, gazebos, modern play-sets, vending shops, washroom facilities, benches, and lighting — all aimed at creating a safe and modern leisure space for families to enjoy.

The National Beautification Project continues to play a key role in transforming public spaces into vibrant community hubs, supporting Mrs. Ali’s broader vision of building a more beautiful, inclusive, and family-friendly Guyana.
