This third panorama of Palmentuin (the Palmtree Garden) in Paramaribo gives you a better view of the playground that’s located inside the park to the South-East. You can zoom in to see it more clearly. It’s still early in the afternoon as you stand here in the middle of the park. Listen to the sounds of the insects and the birds as you relax on a bench in the shade of the trees or go for a stroll in the park.
Palmentuin is located right behind the Presidential Palace and dates back all the way to the early 19th century. Many of the palm trees are very old. The park was originally part of the Presidential Palace and wasn’t open to the public. At the end of the 19th century it became accessible to the general public and this has remained so to this day. It’s an ideal place to relax and enjoy nature without going too far away from the city.
