In 2015, the CTB was commissioned with developing the Marie Pampoen recreational area. After all the required permits had been secured, construction began in 2016, focusing on the western section of the area. That phase, which includes a parking area, a beach strip, 2 palapas, BBQ and picnic facilities, a walking and jogging path, vegetation for shading and landscaping, illumination and modifications to the sidewalk at the Dr. M.L. King Boulevard, is nearing completion. After this initial phase, the plan is to move on as soon as possible with the development of the existing sports area, which will receive a significant facelift.
The CTB and the other partners in this project wish to thank all users of the area, and especially the inhabitants of Marie Pampoen, for their patience and understanding in connection with any inconveniences they may experience, and at the same time remind all users that it is only together that we will be able to maintain the area as a pleasant environment for tourists and locals alike.
