    For the place where some of Jamaica's most treasured are laid to rest. I was expecting more from National Heroes Park. The park is dry and hot, I was wondering if a well could be dug and used to make a park green and attractive. Some of the plaques are worn need to replaced. Overall the park needs to be refurbished to make it the attraction it deserves to be.

    Burial site of Nationalist Leader Marcus Garvey, reggae star Dennis Brown, and former Prime Ministers Michael & Norman Manley (NMIA) located in the Allman Town neighborhood of Kingston, Jamaica. This solemn historic site is a famous tourist spot for knowledgeable visitors because in 1976 the Smile Jamaica mega-concert took place here. Bob Marley, reggae legend performed when just 2 days prior he had an assassination attempt on his life. Redemption Song!!

    I love the environment. I am able to not just relax in a peaceful environment but I am afforded the ability to learn more about my heritage and about the Heroes who fought successfully so that I can live the life I now enjoy. I am free to make my own choice and not to under bondage. The Park is a powerful reminder of where we came from, the resilience and wit of our forefathers.

    This park is very large and has 2 main sections. There is the section with statues of national heroes and beautiful green space and flora. Then there is another space which is a parking lot well paved and so on. But part of the apce used for parking is a dust bowl, no trees and hot sun.

    They need to install some sheds or something because the place can get pretty hot either that or plant some more trees but aside from that it's a great place to go and visit with your child/ren to see the site where our nation's leaders are buried

    The park closes at 6 p.m. Our history is very important. Security is there due to the presence of soldiers. They have improved the area surrounding the monuments or graves if you wish.

😐 Having gone to St. George's College we were encouraged (or rather made) to go to mass at this church. Structurally this was a excellent structure and always seemed so big. It had an organ at the back and somehow seemed a bit dark and had an 'old smell'. All in the all it was a good experience for me...
