Water parks were stopped in their tracks on Thursday from opening with non-water activities for the Easter weekend.
It has been over a year since Five Islands Water and Amusement Park and Skallywag in Chaguaramas, Harry’s Water Park in Rio Claro and Fun Splash Water Park in Debe closed because of restrictions on water activities as outlined in the Public Health Ordinance to control the spread of covid19. Only public beaches are open between 6 am to 6 pm.

Five Islands Water and Amusement Park is appealing to Government for permission to reopen.
Director of marketing and sales at Five Islands Louanna Borde said several attempts were made, and proposals sent to Health Minister Terrance Deyalsingh and Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram, to have the facility open in keeping with the health protocols.
She said it was disappointing that no concessions were being made to have their establishment reopen, even on a limited basis and questioned why such a harsh decision was being taken, when other family entertainment facilities were allowed to conduct business as usual.
