Brokopondo is the capital town of the Brokopondo District, Suriname.[2] It is located on the west shore of the Suriname river, just north of the Afobaka dam, 105 kilometers (65 miles) south-east of Suriname capital city of Paramaribo. Brokopondo can be reached via the Avobakaweg from Paranam to Afobaka.[1]

Nearby is a granite monument made by sculptor Jo Rens, displaying two men: one standing with a parrot and one sitting and writing. It is meant to symbolize the past and the future. There is also a large beach next to the Suriname river near the city centre.[3] Demographically, the largest ethnic group of Brokopondo are the Maroons.[4]

The Brokopondo Development Plan has designated the town of Brokopondo as one of the two major centres in the region - the other being Brownsweg - with a focus on tourism.[1] There is a large beach next to the Suriname river near the city centre called Anani Beach.[5] Additional developments will be a proper city centre, a bus station, a large hotel with at least 200 beds, and a centre for cultural studies.[1]

Brokopondo is home to a Medische Zending healthcare centre,[6] hotel, school, and police station.[3] In 2014, multi functional centre was opened.[7] On 10 January 2020, a waste incinerator was installed.[8]

A growing concern is the activity of gold prospectors who not only poison the rivers with mercury, but are digging away the edge of the town.[9]
