Additional Details:
In 1872 a public park was built around the grounds of Fort Zeelandia. In addition, a social club was founded. First intended for soldiers, but later it allowed every 'gentleman' membership. Six years before Paramaribo switched from gas lighting to electricity, Park already had electric lighting.
