Senior Citizens Park Opened

In a collaborative effort between the Rotary Club of Suva, the Suva City Council and the Ministry of Social Welfare, Fiji now has its first every Senior Citizens Park at Suva's Thurston Garden.  One hundred people attended the opening ceremony for its opening by the Prime Minister, Commodore Bainimarama who expressed the hope that this example would be replicated in other parts of Fiji. 

The park took a year to materialise and cost around $40,000.  On-going park upgrades of walkways, benches and chairs plus an additional toilet are expected.  The park will greatly contribute to improving the quality of life for senior citizens in Suva being a place they can call their own and where they can relax and walk at their own pace without being rushed.
