by Sapumali GALAGODA

The Jovi Children's Park modelled on the lines of Disneyland USA will be opened in December next year at Habaraduwa in the Galle district.

"Built on an acre of land the investment for the equipment is 250,000 Euros and will be funded by Pecaspan Welfare Foundation," said Chairman Habaraduwa Pradeshiya Sabha Bandupala Abeykoon.

He said that administration as well as staff will be deployed by the Pradeshiya Sabha.

The complex will be equipped with swimming pools, see-saws, roller coasters and other high tech fun activities.

The foundation stone has been laid while plans are being finalised. It is situated 200 metres off the Habaraduwa town.

The chairman said that the aim of building this park is to provide tourists as well as locals with leisure activities which are available at reputed theme parks.

After the dawn of peace last year due to the defeat of the LTTE there is a marked increase in tourism. Providing the best entertainment and leisure activities is a must to attract high spending tourists.
