March 17th, 2008: WASHINGTON PARK ANNUAL COMMEMORATION

We will kick of the event at 8 AM with guided activities including the Kasikunda climbing trail, the 270ft Kasikunda hill and continuing on to the Lagadishi walking trail or the 792ft Brandaris. If this activity may sound too strenuous, there will be more leisurely activities such as strolling along the Lagadishi walking trail or a guided tour through the museum. All excursions will be guided. There will also be free transportation to Slagbaai, for the visitors who enjoy
A cooling swim or snorkel. Recently the roads have been restored, and are in excellent condition, so even regular cars can drive in the park.Children can participate in the activities but must be accompanied by their parents or guardian. At the Visitor Center at the entrance of the park, there will be a treasure hunt, painting and coloring projects and many other activities for the younger set.
From 8 o’ clock in the morning the people of the Rincon Market will delight the visitors with local food, cakes, homemade candies and cookies, arts and crafts at the Visitor’s Center at the entrance of the park.
There will be live music from Tutifruti and Sebari so come and celebrate this special day! The entrance is free for all cars and visitors.
