THE Protected Areas Commission (PAC) has noted with concern, the recent incidents that occurred on September 28, 2025, when individuals disregarded the rules of the National Park concerning the use of motorcycles and vehicles to traverse pathways designated for families, joggers, and children.
According to a press statement, the PAC said these irresponsible actions by a few members of the public endangered the safety of park users and diminished the purpose of the space.
“The National Park remains an urban space where families relax, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors. It is not a roadway for unauthorised vehicles or a diversion from road work, which is currently ongoing on both Carifesta Avenue and Thomas Road,” the PAC said.
The Protected Areas Commission assured the public that immediate steps are being taken to prevent any such reoccurrence of misuse of the National Park.
“Members of the public are reminded that the National Park belongs to all Guyanese as a space to promote health and fitness, family relaxation, and sports,” the PAC said.
