San Fernando Hill

Trinidad Parks

A great site to have a picnic - the San Fernando Hill (officially known as Naparima Hill).  It is a 192-m hill which lies at the center of the city of San Fernando.  The size of the hill was reduced by one third due to illegal quarrying.

Depends on which side of the hill you stand, you can see the Trinidad and Tobago Water Taxis.

The view is fantastic!

Look a "long time" public pay phone!  (Don't think the younger folks will know about these "ancient" phones though.... lol)

The children's play park was opened December 1988,I remember performing with my primary school choir for the opening ceremony.  This play park was named after the late Haji Shafik Rahaman and is maintained by the Rahamut Group of Companies.

My daughter enjoying herself in the playpark :)........

Palmiste Park

Trinidad Parks

Bored at home on a Sunday evening and don't know where to go?  Why not Palmiste Park located just on the outskirts of San Fernando.  Ever thought about jogging with your little one?  You can go for a stroll, take your kids tricycle with them or even camp out on a long weekend.  It's the perfect place for small functions (birthday parties), family picnis or doing photo-shoots.  Night-time is alive and buzzing with activities as food vendors come out to sell.

Such a beautiful site, however some people who use the park abuse the surroundings.  Motorists drive through the park leaving unsightly tyre marks on the green grass.  Some people litter the area with their garbage and the park does not have a restroom.

The Palmiste Park is used to host Ramleela celebration, Phagwa and a Christmas Village.
