Apple Valley is a privately owned attraction in the Caribbean

island of Jamaica, that was started in December of 1990.  The area was originally swamp land and cow pastures, that was excavated and fishing ponds put in just to control the mosquito situation. People came by to fish and the potential for growth was realized.  An interesting remnant of the original landscape is located towards the back of the park by the games area, what we call the "Lilly pond".           

Apple Valley got its name firstly from its geographic location between hills and mountains. A valley is a low area between mountains that is cut by rivers.  Secondly within the Maggotty Valley, on this property, there are 4 varieties of Apples, the othaheite, rose, pine and star apple, hence the name Apple Valley.
