The makeover of Suva’s Albert Park is currently on track and the $7m allocated for 2016 will see its timely completion.

Local Government Minister Parveen Kumar has told parliament that after its completion, Fiji will see a national park that will be a monument to the country’s heritage.

Kumar says the new park will add to what’s developing around the parliamentary complex into an iconic area of addresses that celebrates our past and showcases our visionary future.

The refurbished Albert Park will have a thousand-seat capacity grandstand, new turf worth about $2m and other facilities found in most sports arenas.

There will be four football fields, a cricket pitch and even retail space.
