Jamaica’s newest park in New Kingston is still drawing attention almost six years after it was first opened in 2002. Aptly named Emancipation Park as a tribute to the slaves whose lives are intrinsically intertwined with the island, this is not just a regular park. It is a living, breathing testament to the history of the people and the cultures that combine to make Jamaica, well, Jamaica.
There is something about Emancipation Park that touches a chord of nationalistic pride. The beauty of the design is only a part of the allure; the story being told with fountains, statues and symbols is like touching pieces of history.
Even the name tells a story, Emancipation Park - freedom from bondage. The mixed ethnicity of the Jamaican people is captured by the two-headed crocodiles, (representing "Unity in Diversity"), set in a plaque by the ceremonial entrance.
