“The scheduled capital upgrading at the Bokkie Park is in progress,” he adds.
According to him they are waiting for the following orders:
* Supply and installation of paving.
* Supply and installation of mountable kerbs.
* Upgrading of the existing store at the park.
The Advertiser previously reported that there are five phases to upgrading the park and each phase may take between one and two years to complete.
The upgrading will focus on two key areas – one is the facilities for the animals, and the other is the facilities for the visitors.
The first phase of the upgrading process will see the animal shelters replaced or restored and new paved walkways will be completed.
Phases two and three will include the upgrading of the ablution facilities, lapas, the tea garden and, also, the irrigation system.
Concept plans drawn up suggest that the park will eventually undergo a major transformation.
