Garden of Palms, Historic palm garden behind Presidential Palace in Paramaribo, Suriname
The Garden of Palms contains approximately 1000 royal palm trees and serves as a habitat for tropical birds and capuchin monkeys.
Governor Cornelis van Aerssen van Sommelsdijck established this garden in 1685, ordering the planting of royal palms and opening it to the public.
The garden displays monuments of national figures, including a statue of Henck Arron, the first Prime Minister of independent Suriname, installed in 2008.
The park includes a children's playground and welcomes visitors throughout the day, though lighting becomes limited in late afternoon hours.
UNESCO allocated 147,000 dollars in 2009 for the garden's restoration, recognizing it as part of Paramaribo's World Heritage designation from 2002.
