The Nature Park was launched on this day back in 2012 by the NCDC, with the vision of becoming PNG’s premier recreational attraction.
It took over the site that was previously run by the National Botanical Gardens.
Since opening, a number of major infrastructural changes have occurred, including building a new entry, café and souvenir shop, refurbishing a number of animal exhibit and building a number of new exhibits for animals, introducing multiple cultural displays and most recently, completing a new toilet block and building of new footpaths.
