Turtle River Park (Ocho Rios)

Jamaica / Saint Ann / Ocho Rios / Milford Road
Situated in the centre of Ocho Rios, Turtle River Park is a relatively new attraction. Until recent years the land of 3 hectares was used to be a bus park. The UDC decided that the most beneficial use for the land would be a public park, a use befitting St Ann's nickname of "The Garden Parish". Turtle River Park was opened by Prime Minister P. J. Patterson on 18 June 2004. The Park is frequented by tourists and members of the Ocho Rios community, seeking a moment of tranquility away from working life. The park features flower beds, a large pond stocked with fish and turtles, gazeboes, a concert pavilion and a concession selling snacks. There is also a parking lot adjoining the park.
