AN amusement park currently under construction by Htoo Trading Company at the National Landmark Garden in Pyin Oo Lwin will open next month, said an official from the company.

“The amusement park will have five entertainment centres. We plan to finish three by next month and open them to the public,” said U Wai Myo Aung, the deputy general manager of the company.

He said the amusement park, which has been under construction for about two months, is located on four acres of land on the southern end of the 54-acre National Landmark Garden near National Kandawgyi Park.

He said the construction crew is working to finish the entrance gate, indoor game centre and merry-go-round by next month for the opening.

“The entrance resembles a castle and looks like a gate from Disneyland,” said U Wai Myo Aung.

“Chinese experts surveyed the ground and drew plans for the amusement park. Game machine suppliers and an engineering group also came to the construction site from China. But the overall design was made by our architect, U Thaw,” he said.

“We plan to gradually expand the park in future,” he added.

The National Landmark Garden opened on December 15, 2006, and has brought in more than K80 million in entrance fees up to the end of last month.

“We plan to celebrate the garden’s first anniversary like the Yangon Zoological Garden but details of the celebration have not been confirmed yet,” U Wai Myo Aung said.
