The man­age­ment of Pi­geon Point Her­itage Park has re­it­er­at­ed that div­ing from the park’s jet­ty is strict­ly pro­hib­it­ed fol­low­ing the re­cent ac­ci­dent in­volv­ing First Of­fi­cer Chris­ton Bat­ters­by.

“This in­ci­dent serves as a stark re­minder of the po­ten­tial dan­gers as­so­ci­at­ed with div­ing or jump­ing from the Pi­geon Point jet­ty,” the park’s man­age­ment said in a state­ment. “De­spite its pic­turesque ap­pear­ance, the wa­ter depth and un­der­wa­ter con­di­tions around the jet­ty can be un­pre­dictable and haz­ardous.”

The To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly and park of­fi­cials con­firmed that Bat­ters­by has made “sig­nif­i­cant progress in his re­cov­ery” and ex­tend­ed their “best wish­es for his full and swift re­cu­per­a­tion.”
