The National Parks Trust of the Virgin Islands announced the reopening of Queen Elizabeth II Park in Road Town after completing renovation works that included structural improvements, enhanced rainwater drainage systems, and general repairs to improve public safety and accessibility.
According to the Trust, the upgrades were part of ongoing efforts to ensure the park remains a safe and resilient recreational space for residents and visitors. The 0.7-acre park, established in 1974, features landscaped lawns, a playground for children, and a waterfront gazebo overlooking Road Harbour.
“We’re excited to welcome families, friends, and visitors back to this cherished green space in Road Town — a perfect spot to unwind, take a walk, or let the little ones play,” a post on their official Facebook page said . “Come visit, enjoy the fresh upgrades, and help us care for our parks by keeping them clean and safe for all.”
Queen Elizabeth II Park was previously closed in 2021 for maintenance and repairs to playground equipment, according to a government advisory. Earlier upgrades were completed in 2016, when the park was reopened after major landscaping and construction work.
The Trust said the latest improvements are intended to enhance drainage during heavy rainfall and preserve the park’s facilities for long-term use. Officials encouraged the public to use the space responsibly and to support ongoing efforts to maintain the park’s condition.
