Three Houses Park

 

Tucked away in the lush hills of Barbados’ southeastern coast, Three Houses Park is a hidden gem that’s perfect for a relaxing escape.

On weekends and public holidays, the park buzzes with energy as families and friends gather for picnics at colorful picnic tables under the shade of towering trees. But if you’re looking for a quieter vibe, weekdays are your best bet - you might just have the place to yourself!

As you explore the island, make sure to add Three Houses Park to your itinerary. The panoramic views are perfect for snapping that Instagram-worthy shot. And if you’re traveling with little ones, they’ll love the playground, complete with slides and swings to keep them entertained.

Nature lovers, you’re in for a treat! The park is home to natural streams, and there’s even a small pool where you can cool off with a refreshing dip. There are washroom facilities on-site, so you can comfortably spend the whole day here.

The park is a popular stop as hikers traverse the annual Great Train Hike. The Barbados Railway was operational from 1881 to 1937, ferrying vistors through the countryside from the capital Bridgetown to Belleplaine in the north-east of the island. The Three Houses stop was about 13 miles from Bridgetown.

Now, about that quirky name... Three Houses Park might sound strange, but the story behind it is pretty simple: for years, there were only three houses in the area! It’s a fun little piece of history that adds to the park’s charm.

So, pack a picnic, grab your sunscreen, and get ready to unwind at Three Houses Park. Whether you’re here for the views, the vibes, or just a break from the beach, this spot has something for everyone. See you there! 🌴
