Family theme park planned for Jamaica
A new family attraction called Brooks Park will be built in Mandeville, Manchester, on the Caribbean island of Jamaica.
The 38-acre site, which will resemble Emancipation Park in Kingston, will accommodate a stadium featuring cycle and athletic tracks, an outdoor amphitheatre, a heated indoor swimming pool, a gym and a health suite.
A civic centre will provide an indoor theatre venue to host basketball and boxing tournaments, dance events and conferences, while a family area will provide a children's play and picnic zone, complemented by a park complete with a pond.
A Korean Government-funded Youth Information Centre (YIC) will also be located at the theme park.
Clifton Reid, chair of Brooks Park Development Management Board, said: "We want to capture an Emancipation Park type thing, where people can go and relax and walk, play and jog. At the same time, over the years, Brooks Park has had an association with sport, so we have tried to capture as many sports as possible in this entity."
