The first peoples of Trinidad are the Amerindians. Cleaver Woods Recreation Park gives insight into two tribes of these peoples, the Caribs and the Arawaks, their influence on our society and how they lived. The Amerindian House called an Ajoupa is located in this 32 acre forest and contains various items and artifacts from their era in a small museum. There are beautiful nature trails for those wishing to take a stroll through the trees and benches to sit and enjoy the home of the Amerindians. Kids can also enjoy a small playground and families can gather under the thatched roof picnic huts.
You can book the park for a private function (meetings, lectures, social gatherings, etc.) through the park's administrative office. Bookings should be made at least six weeks in advance. There is a fee for the use of park facilities.
