Skin­ner Park in San Fer­nan­do will now be re­opened in time for Car­ni­val 2023.

San Fer­nan­do May­or Ju­nia Re­grel­lo gave the as­sur­ance dur­ing his ad­dress at the May­or’s Ball at City Hall Au­di­to­ri­um in San Fer­nan­do on Sat­ur­day night.

Ear­li­er this year, Re­grel­lo had said that the re­open­ing may have been in No­vem­ber, but he in­di­cat­ed then that the project had en­coun­tered nu­mer­ous set­backs.

Skin­ner Park was closed in 2019 so that ren­o­va­tions could be un­der­tak­en.

Rur­al De­vel­op­ment and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment Min­is­ter and San Fer­nan­do West MP Faris Al-Rawi al­so spoke about his vi­sion for San Fer­nan­do, which in­volved 17 dif­fer­ent projects.

The ma­jor project is the San Fer­nan­do Re­De­vel­op­ment Wa­ter­front Project which is on­go­ing. Not­ing that prop­er ur­ban re­ju­ve­na­tion is re­quired, Al-Rawi said, “If we don’t en­gage in that pur­chase of a vi­sion why would you stop in San Fer­nan­do? Where is the de­vel­op­ment in San Fer­nan­do, in the sub­urbs in C3, South Park, Oropouche East and Oropouche West.”

He as­sured that the 700-plus mu­nic­i­pal po­lice force will be ex­pand­ed to 1,500. Al­so at­tend­ing the event was Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Fitzger­ald Hinds, who com­mend­ed the ma­jor, say­ing that in every facet of his life he has demon­strat­ed his lead­er­ship, strength and vi­sion.
