With the construction of the Dunn’s River Falls Central Gardens nearing completion, the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) is welcoming proposals for the operation of a sealed liquor concession in newly built facilities at the park in Ocho Rios, St. Ann.
As a part of the continued development of the world-famous attraction, the current upgrade of the new Central Gardens valued at approximately $114 million will add another dimension to the experience of patrons and on completion will feature a splash zone, a water slide and a number of retail kiosks. The move is targeted at increasing the value-added options that are available to guests and expanding commercial activities at the venue. As such the UDC has designated additional space for the retail of commodities and services inclusive of the sale of sealed liquor.
