Friendship Park

The project is scheduled to complete at the end of next month if weather permits.

Savali newspaper reports the Friendship Park is designed to provide public facilitates to allow people to gather, play sport, watch cultural facilities and essentially enjoy the water views and a well-designed open space.

The project which commenced in December 2018 with the intention to complete in June 2020 was delayed due to two health crises—Measles and COVID-19, and the project works halted in December 2019 due to restrictions in travel for the specialized workers from China.

And despite the poor weather, it’s not dampening the enthusiasm and determination for the project to be completed.

Project Coordinator, Fiona Sapatu said, “Much of the landscaping has started, and the rain we have had has helped with plant growth but caused delay on some structural works for the Contractor."

“We have closed off the road at the back of the Government Building for works and improving the road as part of the Friendship Park project.
“We’re working hand in hand with our key stakeholders such as EPC, SWA and building custodians.
