Palmiste Recreational Park

This very picturesque park is situated on the outskirt of the Palmiste Community.  Palmiste Park is large, well maintained and quite clean. Surrounded by lots of trees, greenery and a lake, this is a popular location for taking all types of pictures. On any given weekend you can see children running through the fields, families hosting mini gatherings or even camping.  

A relaxing afternoon jog or run on the track around this exquisite park is a usual for many. This is reminiscent of being around the Savannah as you can expect to see food vendors all in a row. Here, you can get fresh fruits, have the coconut vendor cut you a fresh one, the gyro man hit you up with a chicken or lamb or even hot doubles from the doubles man/woman. A grocery can be found on the opposite side of the road in case you need to pick up a few snacks or drinks.    

Park around the venue and go sit and enjoy a nice day.

Did you know soca superstar Machel Montano’s Jumbie video was shot here? 

Point-a-Pierre Wild Fowl Trust

Are you ready to enjoy nature? 

 

We all know about Caroni Bird Sanctuary. Now get ready to experience Point-a-Pierre Wild Fowl Trust. This remarkable sanctuary is dedicated to environmental education and the conservation of wetlands and the waterfowl. It is a non-profit organisation which has been around for the past 50 years. It is located within Petrotrin and contains two lakes and a large spread. If you’re a nature lover then this is a must visit. Take a walk along the trail or visit the Learning Centre which houses a library, a small museum containing unique Amerindian artefacts, and a souvenir shop. You can witness a variety of endangered birds and other animals at this facility.  

Have a meal while enjoying the natural surroundings on the patio or stay and relax in one of the guest rooms at Petrea Place which is also owned by the Trust.  This is not one of those walk in facilities so you must make a reservation in advance to experience all this wonderful place has to offer.

Trust me you won’t regret it.
