As
part of its mission, the Petroleum Corporation of
Jamaica endeavours to positively impact that the
surrounding community by helping to make them healthier
and more environmentally friendly places to live and
work.
Holruth Park, which lies between Holborn and Ruthven
Roads and bordered by Trafalgar Road is an example of a
‘neighbourhood improvement project’. The Park was built
and is maintained by the Corporation as a green space in
this highly commercialized zone. It is lit by
photovoltaic lamps installed as part of the project to
encourage the use of solar energy for lighting.
In
December 2000, ‘Emerging Nation’ , a 246cm high, bonded
bronze sculpture by Basil Watson and mounted in the
Park, was presented to the people of Jamaica by the
Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica.
The Fuelwood Faĉade Project
This
project enhances the appearance of the stretch of road
from Crawford to Scott’s Cove, in the South Coast parish
of St. Elizabeth, by giving the perception of a
lush, green forest on either side of the roadway.
Although it is an energy oriented project, it provides
environmental protection, restoration and adds to the
aesthetics of the location.
The Font Hill Beach Park
The beach park is owned
and operated by the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica
(PCJ). The beach is located on the coastline of the Font
Hill Property in St. Elizabeth. It was developed in 1998
by the PCJ to include all the necessary amenities. This
development helps to control the carrying capacity and
thereby maintain the environment quality of the less
than 50 metre sandy strip.
The beach is available for rental for private and public
functions. The opening hours are 9am-5pm Tuesdays to
Sundays.
There are Gazebos and seating at strategic points around
this very beautiful property. Why not take a picnic
basket and come and join us on one of the most beautiful
beaches in Jamaica?
