A little over a month after announcing that the finishing touches were being applied to the parking lot at the Thomas Lands entrance to the National Park, the National Parks Commis-sion has issued a public notice advising on the fee structures for that lot and the Carifesta Avenue Parking Lot.
The Commission has said that the fees for parking in both lots after 3pm will be as follows: payment in cash upon entry, $200; six-month parking pass, $15,000 ($82 per day) and a one year parking pass will cost $25,000 ($68 per day). The fees will be put into effect from January 1, 2015.
All revenue collected will be used to maintain the facilities and for the continued upgrading of the National Park, the Commission said. Passes will be available at the Commission’s head office in the National Park compound at the Thomas Lands entrance. Previous-ly, Commissioner of the Protected Areas Commis-sion Damian Fernandes said the lot at Thomas Lands is expected to accommodate a minimum of 50 vehicles.
