Mayor Donald G. Flores is looking at bringing in iguanas and other animals to inhabit the lush greens at the Sugar King Park, transforming a portion of the area into a wildlife park and garden to lure in visitors and serve as a place where residents can spend time with their families.<\/p>\n
Flores said his staff recently spruced up the park in preparation for the peace ceremony at the Katori Jingu, located within the park\u2019s premises.<\/p>\n
According to Flores, the park could further promote the CNMI\u2019s tourism industry if it could be developed and feature different species of animals such as iguanas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe park would draw more tourists to visit the place if we could have something unique to offer there like wildlife,\u201d he told Saipan Tribune. \u201cIt is also a beautiful place where families can bond with each other after work, on weekends and holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n
The famous Sugar Train from the Japanese era should also be rehabilitated, he said, to make Sugar King Park more attractive.<\/p>\n
Flores said that he already talked with Marianas Visitors Authority managing director Perry Tenorio so that their offices can work on making these plans come true. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
