Dunn’s River Falls and Park (DRFP) is the premier natural attraction owned by UDC offering services such as climbing the Falls, recreational activities at the beach, serene and expansive gardens and a craft market within which are two restaurants.

The site of the Dunn’s River is a part of the 276 acre Belmont property, which was acquired by the Government of Jamaica in 1972, to provide for future development of recreational and park facilities. The Belmont property was entrusted to the UDC for the people of Jamaica and has benefitted from a multimillion dollar upgrading programme by the Corporation over the years, the latest being the installation of an electronic ticket management system.
Dunn’s River Falls and Park currently attracts approximately 785,000 visitors annually.
