KRALENDIJK – Starting April 3, 2023, Washington Slagbaai National Park will be closed on Mondays, the National Parks Foundation Bonaire (STINAPA) has announced. The park will remain open six days a week, from Tuesday to Sunday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with admission registration available until 2:30 p.m.

The decision to close the park on Mondays was made following an evaluation of recent developments and collective decision-making, according to STINAPA. The organization wants to focus more on the successful Parke Bunita project in the park, which has been running for three years, and address urgent concerns to ensure the safety of visitors and employees.

Although the park has been a major tourist attraction for years, certain areas are in urgent need of more attention, STINAPA explains. Closing the park on Mondays will therefore contribute to improving the overall experience of visitors who can still visit the park.
