Newly elected San Fernando mayor Junia Regrello yesterday visited the ground near Skinner Park where a Venezuelan amusement park is being set up following complaints that equipment had damaged the ground.
Regrello, who was sworn into office three days ago, said, “I heard that damage was done to the pavillon of the ground. I went to get a first hand view.”
He said there was some damage done by the trailers entering the compound and the surface had vehicle marks which could be restored with the passage of time.
He said permission to use the ground was granted by the administration arm of the San Fernando City Corporation after the council had disolved.
The ground is used by groups for various sporting and exercise activities and it’s also a popular jogging/running location.
However, he said there would be no move to block the company from setting up there as they were providing a family type entertainment which was necessary, especiallly with children being on vacation.
Regrello said they would be seeking a commitment from the company to repair whatever damage was done to the ground and pavillon.
He did not know the name of the company.
