In what some persons have dubbed an early Christmas at the Turtle River Park, the St Ann Development Company, a subsidiary of the Urban Development Corporation (UDC), recently lit a Christmas tree at the park.

The unique decor sees the main walkway at the park being lit on both sides by palm trees in the green space.

At nights, the park is transformed into a resplendent picture.

“This is more than a Christmas tree, this is a Christmas park,” one woman remarked, upon seeing the light for the first time a few nights ago.

The Christmas tree-lighting ceremony is a tradition in Jamaica, and so the Turtle River Park tree is one of several that will be lit across the island during the festive season.
