Pleasantly clean and well-kept. Security. Free curbside parking. Walking and jogging trail. NO PETS. Clean grass - free of pet waste. Must see.

Big park in the heart of Jamaica. Everyone is welcome. There is a running or jogging trail. An outdoor gym also is available Great space for picnic or just sitting on the benches

Once upon a moonlit night stood silhouette trees that sparkled near and far and there was love. And love loomed and love bloomed among the sparkling trees in the night. Yea a Jamaica dis!

The park is in New Kingston, opened on 31 July 2002, the day before Emancipation Day. Prime Minister P.J. Patterson's address to open the park he acknowledged that the park is a commemoration of the end of slavery. The six-acre park includes fountains and public art. The park is known for the large scuplutre Redemption Song at the park's main entrance. Redemption Song, which takes its name from Bob Marley's song of the same name, is an 11 ft. (approximately 3m) high bronze sculpture by Jamaican artist Laura Facey. The sculpture features a male and female figure gazing to the skies – symbolic of their triumphant rise from the horrors of slavery. The statue was unveiled in July 2003, in time for the park's first anniversary.

This is a wonderful place especially for families with children to allow them to run freely with grass between their toes after beeing cooped up at home because of the Pandemic. It allows for them to enjoy the fresh air in a beautiful safe space.

very clean, very well-maintained, very beautiful, incredible living space❤️✌️

Lovely place to relax sat in the sun or shade under a tree. You can walk around at your own place and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.

Lovely clean park with plenty of benches. Perfect spot for a leisurely stroll, picnic with the family, or to relax and read a book.

Oasis in the city. I wish we had more of these in the corporate area. Certainly a wonderful place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Such a beautiful place to spend time with family, run and jog, as well as looking at the beautiful fountain. It also contains historical information about the National Heroes of Jamaica.

Went with some friends for Bible Study. It's the Christmas season and the decor did not disappoint. We took photos and engaged in the usual shenanigans 🤪

Emancipated yourself from mental slavery, nome but ourselves can free our minds 🙏🏾 Jamaica you did well with this park. Beautifully kept. Every country should treat emancipation with such honor

Each time I visit the park with my grandson who is one year and three months old the beautiful ambiance just enhance our bond together and leaves us very happy.. I love to go there

Best family park in the Kingston area. Very peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful. The grounds are well kept and the lawn mower and properly maintained. There are many security personnel that patrols the park, they don't seem to be in any funny business. The facilities are kept clean and in good functional order. There are also many trees in the park that provides shade in the daytime. Parking is limited for this park especially if there's an event, otherwise, you'll have to park elsewhere and walk back to the park. Overall experience was tranquil.

Beautiful Place with some history! Kept very clean and maintained.

A very beautiful and relaxing place. Has free WiFi and restroom facilities. Restaurants nearby and vendors to get anything you need. Great for picnics.

It's definitely well worth a visit whilst in Kingston. Beautiful park filled with history. We enjoyed it.

Its free to the public and kid friendly. Great for workouts as they have a track you can walk or run on as well as you're free to exercise in the park. The table tennis and tables for board games and such. Its a well kept park and you can buy juice, snacks, ice cream, etc from the surrounding stores or the vendors outside. Great for picnics and just to relax with nature.

so during the Covid time the park has become less crowed. Have a jog in the early morning but be safe

Beautiful landscape and flowers. Lots of colorful flowers and trees. Park is extremely clean and inviting. Security guards in park at all times. The Washrooms are clean, soap and toilet paper is available. Perfect setting for wedding, birthday celebration,family outing, picnic photo shoot. Game area Chess and checkers tables. There is also a track that goes around the park for joggers and walkers. Lots of garbage containers, landscape spotless. Located close to hotels steps away from park. Pegasus hotel is across the street. KFC, burger king, close by.

Great chill spot. Nice to have a picnic or just relax out in the open. However I was unaware that to take photos using a camera u have to pay a fee, selfies/ photos taken on a phone are totally free. Be mindful

Always very nice to visit. The grounds are always clean. You are free to come with friend and enjoy or if you just want to stay by yourself thats great too. There is wifi available and alot of food spot close by.

Nice landscaping, played some checkers... All the pieces were there! Even the restrooms were nice.

Such a beautiful park with some much shade! It makes for a great place to go hangout when it is extremely hot out and it is definitely worth visiting at least once when you visit Kingston! The park is very green and there are plenty of beautiful flowers to look at. They also have a track that you can run on and plenty of benches. Walking distance you can find a Starbucks, Pizza Hut, and Knutsford express bus line.

For a national park, it was not what I was expecting. My 2 year old couldn't even ride her scooter in the big open space. There's nothing to do here, but just chill and look around.

Emancipation Park, nestled in the heart of Kingston, Jamaica, stands as a serene haven, both for the weary traveler and the locals seeking a refreshing escape. Open to tourists and residents alike, this vibrant park offers a much-needed respite from the confines of hotel rooms and apartments. Alternatively, if you crave outdoor activity, the park provides ample pathways for invigorating runs and jogs, inviting you to embrace the outdoors and stay fit. #TipforTourists- it is safe to visit, I advised though that you visit these parks and others around Kingston during daylight and not at night. @GreenpassportTravels - Reviews

It is indeed a beautiful and well kept park but barely much to see. They could add more benches so that people loafing around don't continue to damage the well kept grass which is what makes the park attractive. Maybe they should also limit food coming into the park to stop it from ending up being a pile of rubbish dump.

This is a very well maintained park. I saw workers constantly cleaning the park. I loved reading about Jamaica's heroes and the tranquility of the area.

I stopped by a beautiful park – so serene. Also, on my way out, I grabbed some fresh fruits

It is a beautiful place with different things to admire and look at. You do do different things there, y can walk around and look at the place. You can have picnics and other stuff there, too.

The Emancipation park is an awesome place to relax with friends and families. The beautiful scenery of freshly cut flower is breathe taking. If you are a fan of love You can alway anticipate to see a few wedding team coming in throughout the day to take pics. The lawns are always low cut, with an invitation for you to just lay and relax.

It's a park that has been with us for a long time but i think it's time for some new renovations. Make the place look oomph

Holywell is amazing!!!! The area is well maintained. We only did a day trip but before the day ended we were planning a weekend stay. The bathrooms are cleaner than most fast food restaurants. The staff is amazing. The trails are filled with signs. The road to holywell is winding and you should sound your horn often but I promise you will NOT regret it. Please stop read mi review and go pay the $400 and change your life.

Rented a tent and went camping here. The process was so easy, only complaint was sometimes they were hard to get on the phone. But the lady was so pleasant when booking the reservation that it wasn't really an issue. If you want to rent a cabin for the weekend plan FAR in advance. When I asked in February she told me they were booked every weekend until November. When we arrived the tent was already set up we just needed to carry up all our things and with the help of the ranger it went super fast. Sleeping there you feel very safe. Just make sure you put any food you want in your tent or locked up in your car, there are dogs, cats, mongooses, that will steal and eat anything not secured. Had a fantastic time. Will definitely be going back.

They have showers, toilets and the works, "coal stoves" for a fireplace and tents to rent, I plan to go back with a group of my friends and/or family.

Calm, cool, serene natural habitat complete with cabins, open spaces for tent pitching and cooking, nestled in the cool, welcoming, picturesque hills of St. Andrew is the first things which come to mind when thinking of this beautiful getaway. A place where colleagues and I have hosted hikes for numerous years, there are trails aplenty and comfortable driving areas for those who are uninterested in the trek. Although it is a natural and protected reserve, the ruggedness has been erased with the installation of electricity, running water at various stand pipes strategically placed around the site and especially near the spots built for cooking, flushable male and female outhouses in comfortable reach, tissue, hand towels and handsome soap dispensers outfitted to gazebos near the stand pipes. Garbage bins are also hard to miss. Entry fee is $400 per person and hours of operation are 9am to 5 PM. The rangers are friendly and knowledgeable and stay out of your way. Cabin rental is also available. Mobile data tends to be hard to pick up so that replaces all the ruggedness that was initially softened by the modern amenities mentioned, and unless you are in unmatched company, have a good book to read or are busy with no time for your phone, you had better find games to play or new plant species to discover. A+ for the directional signs to various parts of the site including ample parking, the informative boards of the types of flora and tid bits on the history of the site. I would recommend it to students looking for a quiet place to study, groups wanting to stage a retreat, families in need of time away to have the camping experience and lovers who want to drink in the romance that nature offers. There are no snakes, bears or wild animals to contend with, and the view of Kingston and our natural harbour simply breathtaking.

The area is clean, quiet and secured. Very beautiful spot to chill. Would definitely recommend visiting here

A great place to relax, unwind or meditate.

Well organized and clean park. They even follow COVID procedures. You are checked before entering the park hands are sanitized and temperatures are checked. Lots of areas to take pictures. There is also a clean bathroom for use in the park.

Cool place to be, the place is taken cared of, the grass was cut the place was clean. I didn't reach the bathroom but I am hoping they are clean. If you have a day and you want do. A. Picnic type thing and you are living in town. This is a really cool convenient place to do it. The air is clean, the atmosphere is great, the place is safe enough.

Best park to go and just relax. It's also a good place to take photos.

Great place to relax. Plenty of seating and beautiful flowers to look at and multiple photographic backdrops. Parking was plentiful.

Gorgeous and spacious green space to bring family, friends or just to get a breather from the bustle of town life. There's also a water fountain which adds charm to the facility as night falls. Popular for taking pictures. There's a walk/run path marked for persons who want to exercise. Benches and seating areas are limited. You may bring a blanket to sit on the lawn. There are also a few games (board games, table tennis) available for rent in the office. Bathrooms are generally clean and security is usually at the gate. Parking is available around the parameter but fills up quickly. There are also surrounding areas that you can purchase food from (shops and vendors, ice cream and cotton candy). Sometimes may offer free family events, concerts, exercise classes. Check listing for what is scheduled.

The park is a beauty in the heart of New Kingston area. The park has a wonderful statue depicting the strength of the black race at its Knutsford-Oxford road entrance. There are various signage depicting important national symbols and historic information. Several signage also were dedicated to exceptional Jamaicans who have made instrumental impact to Jamaica. The park also has a 500m track with is good for walking and running and is the most utilized feature of the park. There is also a mini outdoor gym with exercise equipment to use if desired. Other unmarked areas available for exercise as well. The park has several benches for sitting, and picnics on the lawns are allowed. No cycling allowed inside the park. The park also has a stage area and enough space where entertainment events can be hosted. There is also a water park area with falls. No swimming allowed. Clean bathroom facilities available. Security available inside the park. Parking spaces and Eating venues located on the outskirts of the park.

Public space with well kept garden. Benches around for sitting. Laying down is prohibited. Permanent table tennis are up for use. There is an exercise track along the perimeter. Hint, walk anticlockwise.

Great park not for strollers or bicycles

It's a great place to be. The only challenge is you can't get any refreshment to buy there except you buy your stuff from outside and bring it down to eat

This is definitely a place to visit. The history, the aesthetic, the culture; I felt everything. Jamaica, land I love!

Is an OK park except that there is not much to do for children outside of just going and sitting to look at the sky. What was good was the monuments with the national heroes to show the children so they can learn about Jamaican heroes.

Beautiful park. Nice and peaceful. There's free WiFi as well. My favourite place to think or just relax.

The environment and space. Lovely park and it's also historical educational venue

A beautiful park. Well-kept. A great venue for outdoor events. Also ideal for early morning or evening exercise or just to relax and chill for a while with friends or a good book.

This is a beautiful part to take your family. It is well kept. You have a very clean restroom and other amenities. There is a water fountain and some statues of Jamaica's national heroes. There is also a designated track for people who want to walk or jog. There is also a pink pong table and chess board. I will add photos later.

The park is well maintained. Love that the walking trail is paved and that the distance is posted in meters. I was able to comfortably walk several times around the trail. Love the cleanliness of the park and the greenery.

Perfect place to just unwind, has a jogging trail and plenty seats its a ideal location to bring the kids

The park was as peaceful as ever unfortunately it is still closed due to the covid-19 pandemic.

I always enjoy my time here. Great place to just relax on the grass and have picnics. Has a track for joggers as well. I only wish they had more parking.

Perfect place for a tranquil walk/run on their soft track. People of all sorts relaxing, playing games, exercising as one. Beautiful flowers, well maintained and clean environment. I look forward to coming here at dusk and staying for a while

Cool, calm and pleasant atmosphere to be in. Clean surroundings. You can meet and greet new persons. Enjoy a concert etc

This is a quiet place to chill out with family n friends great place...

It's a breath of fresh air, consentration, relax and a clean enviroment

Central

Nice place to exercise in the morning there is a small fitness area as well as a jogging trail. You can play chess, checkers or a little table tennis but If thats not quite your speed you can read a book or simply relax as the environment in the morning is very peaceful and quiet. In peak hours say like 5pm it has a little bit more vibrance as people tend to socialize and unwind from work.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, informative (Original) Красиво, познавательно

A great family environment

Beautiful Park, park was closed but was still able to take nice picture outside the gate

Great place to exercise

Beautiful scenery, place is very serene when you go without the crowd being there. Also provided a nice jogging path

It wasn't open today.

Clean and sometimes events are hosted there.

A relaxing and quiet place

Great family park to relax

Strange, they don't allow the locals to enter

National heritage

The beauty

Culture and recreational venue

Its is relaxing and you can go there and free you mind

Historical. ????????????

very well maintained green space in the middle of a densely populated city. it has a walking/jogging trail, table tennis tables, and cast lawn for picnics and kids to play. there are ice cream shops and a putting green miniature golf and food vendors. hotels and government buildings also line the perimeter

Peaceful nature ambience in the center of the urban city. Great for meetups

Nice quiet PARK well maintained with visual displays of Jamaican history. Easily accessible by local bus services.

Beautiful park in the city

This place has come a long way.

Great time was had by my friend and I. Vibrant, full of life and activity during the night!

It's cool, relaxing with fresh air in the city

Great spot to hang out.

E-park is always a favourite place of mine. I love how well kept the grounds are, though I have not used the restroom in years so no comment there. Since moving out of Kingston I have not had an opportunity to visit many of the events held there nor use the park for exercising. I lived within a 5 minutes drive to the park and would be there mostly at 5:00 am to work out before work, though I have used it at nights too. At Christmas the park is especially beautiful with all the decor and twinkling lights. Congrats to the personnel responsible for up keeping the park, we need others like it in other parts of Jamaica.

A great place to take wedding photos... A place to relax and have picnic also...

Relaxing atmosphere

The lawn is exceptional, the upkeep is good , bathrooms are clean , walk with your blanket if you're a lawn person. 24/7 cafe is right across the road in the Pegasus hotel they have great icecream * kindy pricy* and there is also Subzero across from the entrance of the park that has icecream and shakes..... Oh wait there's more.... the centre of New Kingston is a walk away where there are various food stops, pizza hut, KFC etc

i always get a good workout from running my 5km here

Gorgeous! Get place to walk run workout play games relax learn take pics etc!

Too open need close

Relaxing, good hangout spot for friends and family. Great for recreational purposes.

Not fun anymore

Very serene and clean. A great environment for a fam or couple

Emancipation Park is always clean and well groomed which makes the place to relax, exercise and enjoy the outdoors.

Peaceful, refreshing and beautiful environment to recuperate the mind and process creative thoughts.

Well kept. Not packed when I went which was a relief in this pandemic. Security officers taking temperature etc were pleasant. Hoping to go back soon.

Nice family 👪 gathering and relax place especially on Sunday

My dream isq finially comeing truth

Lovely place when wanting to spend time with your children. My son absolutely loves this place as he get to run around freely and meet other children. I enjoy this park. Only problem I would say it that it should not be so expensive to pay the grounds to take pictures. If the park is public.

Emancipation Park is clean. Nice place to relax and carry your kids . You can also exercise there.

Great place for the family. Excellent track for running. They also have themed events based on the month, for example, in February there are free concerts celebrating reggae month. Also the park captures the country's national heros. People also use it for weeding photos, birthdays photos, morning and evening exercise and small parties. The park also have a SMALL gym donated by China Harbour Engineering Company; it mostly consists of hard metal equipments, no gym instructor though. Great restaurants near by.

Great fun for chdren and adults....clean well kept.

Breezy and cool as usual. Park is fully decorated and coloruly lighted too... No light post lights though, guess it's due to the restrictions.

Beautiful to take pictures at

Its an great environment to be in especially with the family BC of its overwhelming sights etc

Relaxation 100

A nice chill spot...at any given time of the day

Very relaxing atmosphere

Peaceful

Beautiful!!

Really beautiful park to be honest. Vendors improvise in place of regulated food stands but really nice place. Could use some more conveniences though. Nice for family, dates and more.

Basic standard place, you cant customize as you wish.

Was good Traffic was light

I was really impressed. It seems there is something new to experience or see. However, the lights were not turned on while were there and the park was closed early.

Emancipation park has a very relaxed feel. If you are a chess, checkers, and or an ping pong player this park would be a great place to get some games in against quality competition. The park is very clean, plus it has a work out area. Security is on the premises at all times, if you are worried about safety. I Love this this park.

Exciting

Great for walking and winding down

(Translated by Google) Nice, but nothing out of the ordinary, just a park and benches) (Original) Красиво, но ничего необычного, просто парк и скамейки)

Fish was great

Enjoyed my run...

Can't give any comment because I didn't entered the area.

Love it

Great location for walking or jogging. 500 metres around.

Lovely site, large are

I loved it will be back on more visits

Great

Great place for a picnic for the family

Nice place to work out. Clean and safe.

Calm and quiet

A place to relax, exercise and hang out with friends

we all love this place

Wonderful

Beautiful even in covid 19 they have protocols in place

A First World standard facility, great for early morning jogging and exercising or after work, or just a place to go to enjoy nature's beauty in the heart of the city.

....Where you can enjoy your walk and run in a peaceful environment

Scenery is captivating during the day and at night its a site of wonder. It is a great olace to hang out with the family, friends or that special someone.

It's always clean and well kept. The security guards are always on patrol. I'll give a 4 star for now

This time of year it is nice but would have been nicer if it wasn't for covid....so temperature and sanitization occurs on entry. Then the Christmas lights are up but no water falls which gives the place a nice vibe.....ice cream, popcorn and toys are accessible. Overall not bad.....

Calm, cool space to lyme with a jogging track for exercising

Very good. Great atmosphere for relaxing and exercise.

To date it has manifested the appearance of a well run park with sanitary conveniences allowing for use by cripples. It offers space for exercising, and a circular track for jogging/walking/running, also tables for Table Tennis, and Chess/Dominoes. It has a stage and a futuristic quadrant of a sphere dome installed on it which offers protection against rainfall. The lawns are well kept and little incidence of garbage accumulating anywhere - there are numerous garbage bins. I enjoy my visits there even in these Times of COVID-19 and am happy with the entry point temperature check and sanitizer provided also the EP WiFi.

History at it's best.

Lovely as usual, clean and well kept.

Nice

Awesome location to meet up and chat with some friends. Play Table tennis or a few board games. Park was opened in Dec 2020 which was during covid times which facilitated people meeting and being able to socially distance themselves.

Beautiful and peaceful. In Kingston the sculpture at the main entrance is inspiring. And we walked the corridor of the national heroes.

Clean, beautiful, spacious and safe

Awesome

Great place to take the family

I love the ambiance here. Good place to hang out with friends, family, spouse etc. Just a good all around park to enjoy yourself. They do have a 500m trail to run around for the fitness enthusiast.

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Baby girl enjoying the park

Everyone was socially distanced and had their own space to exercise and workout

Clean and beautiful scenery. Well manicured plants. Most of all awesome track to walk or run on. Other amenities are great too.

It was relaxing, beautiful, quiet, peaceful and a breath of fresh air.

Nice chill spot✅💯

Park closes early, beautiful place to shoot photos

Secured and relaxing

Its family friendly clean and full of life

This place is very great. The scenery is beautiful, its a nice place to take pictures, the statues are a great representation of the park, and its good for a nice stroll of fresh air and nature. If you like nature I definitely recommend. :)

Grass was very nice for chilling on

Service was HORRIBLE 48 minutes for order for 4 persons to be taken

Its just a place to hang out

Ok to hang out

Its ok

It's cool place to chill with family or friends quite and welcoming for everyone

Best place to jog...

Lovely park they have done some improvements to trails and facilities, a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Keep up the good work Holywell team!

My first time visiting Holywell Park and it was the most amazing experience! Rustic comfortable cabins, the air up there is fresh, & clean and the view is amazing. If you a nature lover this is definitely the place for you.

Nice ,cool tranquil environment. Very relaxing. Great place to go for a getaway

Always a very peaceful and calming place to visit. Clean air. Well kept area and comfortable. Very affordable. Almost free for such a gem.

It's a lovely face to go with your family.

Fit for nature lovers. Cool days, cold nights Clean and calm with adequate facilities

Wow. Amazing! The journey to get there was long but worth it. The environment, the beautiful nature, the cozy settings, gazebos scattered across the compound to facilitate a sense of privacy among groups, and neatly placed nature trails that are not difficult to trek. The plants are the most beautiful shades one can find as the colours are rich/bright. Take food, prepare to walk, and have fun! I hope to return soon.

Beautiful

Great place to relax with close friend and family. I love it. Just needs a few more improvements to bathrooms and more cabins.

Enjoy the beautiful view of Kingston and the ocean behind it. There are a few different offerings here. One can go for the day, make a reservation to go camping, or rent one of the lodges available. We've only ever gone for a day trip. The admission is 400 JMD per person as of Jan 2021. With this you get access to the location. There are several pagodas placed throughout the park but generally it's first come first served if you want to secure one to yourself for a group. There are restrooms and groundskeepers to ensure cleanliness, but personally I still avoid the restrooms and clean up after myself. Some of the pagodas have a concrete enclosure with a grill, others don't. Bathroom facilities were recently updated and they've even added a "tuck shop" recently, although I can't speak to what is available there. There's a hiking trail and even a little waterfall if you're willing to explore so wear sneakers and parents, please be mindful as there are many open areas with small steep sloping/drops (and a few with large ones) so kids need to be monitored to ensure they don't fall. There are no major restaurants or shopping facilities near Hollywell Park, so if you plan to go there, make sure you pack sufficient supplies to have a good day! Bring a bucket of KFC, drinks and ice at the least. Temperatures can reach below 16 degrees Celsius and it often rains suddenly so pack well for the trip. If you have a 4WD vehicle or one with good off road capabilities, take that. The drive up can be rough if you're not used to winding roads and the occasional single lane 2 way traffic on a hillside, but it's worth it if you're looking for a peaceful and cool day up in the hills with family!

It was very cold

Beautiful The beauty of nature is stunning its breathtaking love the campfire and the beautiful overlooking of the great city of Kingston. There is so much beautiful things happening in and around. Would definitely recommend. The nature trail.

If you love nature then your will love this place. Nice trails and good weather. Awesome rangers that look after you with a smile. Could use better facilities though.

The most beautiful place on earth.

Great place to explore the outdoors with magnificent views when the fog clears and lots of spots to just relax and enjoy nature.

It was a very nice and scenic view. Home away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Quite, cool, fresh air filling the lungs, with lots of cloud cover to block out the sun.

perfect family get away

Great facilities. Excellent views. Trails well maintained.

Amazing

Magical outing and camping place

Ranger Smith and the team is very helpful, beautiful views

Very tranquil place and very relaxing

Good

Very cold comfortable and safe.. . Ideal camping grounds

Peace n quite.....

Lovely scenic place. Weather change regularly, but it was a great experience

Cottage prices too expensive per night

Nice peaceful getaway

One of the most beautiful place in Jamaica by far!!!

Amazing get away!

Spacious, clean and views to die for.

Its nature

Relaxation with friends unwind the stress away in the cool hills

get away from the rat race and get in touch with nature...

Beautiful and peaceful and cool in this summer heat

It's coo, scenic and serene.

Very family oriented setting with clean convenient restrooms.

Be one with nature in the VERY cool hills of St. Andrew

One of my favourite places in Jamaica. It gives great views of Kingston and has a scenic trail. Very spacious with diverse landscape.

8/10, Would camp here again.

Good place to relax and refresh

Great place to relax and take photos.

Very nice place, well kept and thoroughly sanitized.

When you need peace and tranquility. This is the place.

Peaceful

Awesome!

The protocol of closing the park needs to be communicated clearly to visitors and the security guards need customer service training. Personally it irks me when security guards are communicating instructions and it's packed full of attitude and bad manners. I visited the park yesterday for the first time in years with my one year old and will not be returning any time soon, the security guards made sure of my decision.

(Translated by Google) It was my first time in the country, I visited this park and I actually really liked it. It is a clean park, very well cared for and has beautiful gardens. It is in the city of New Kingston, the busiest area in Jamaica. ² It has a court and there are permanent tables used to play chess. And it has the monument of emancipation. Of course I would go to this beautiful place again. (Original) Era mi primera vez en el país, visite este parque y en realidad me gustó mucho. Es un parque limpio, muy buen cuidado y tiene lindos jardines. Queda en la ciudad de New Kingston, zona de mayor actividad en Jamaica. ² Tiene una pista y hay mesas permanentes utilizadas para jugar ajedrez.. Y tiene el monumento de la emancipación. Por supuesto que volvería a ir a este precioso lugar.

Great place to relax or if you want to do a bit of jogging

Great place for a morning jog...everyone observed the COVID protocols.

Great view

It was great experience I would've come back because of the way the do things

Relaxing

Security guard playing like he's God is a no no...

It was wonderful. I had a great run.

(Translated by Google) Niiiiiice! (Original) Niiiiiice!

Bright and airy space that offers an escape from the claustrophobia my small New Kingston apartment. Could open a little earlier so I could get more of a workout before work

(Translated by Google) It's OK (Original) لا بأس فية

Spectacular

This place is a place for relaxation,chill out spot and hangout with friends or family

Very peaceful

Great environment

Love this place

Wonderful place to just walk and lay it all out every morning

A bit run down where the stage is, but still big and beautiful 😍

The kids had fun. Was great

Absolutely Beautiful. Went there for My Mom's wedding We had to pay $2500 to use the park. If you will using the park to take pictures for your wedding, you will have to pay $2500. It's a contribution fee for the upkeep of the park.

Nice place to go for a walk or jog during this covid time. Not crowded and welcome chnage from all the hustle and bustle of the city.

It's a nice little park. Restrooms are clean and there is an area to exercise and jog. You can sit and have a chat with friends or sit and think to yourself.

One of the few public parks in Kingston City. Well maintained jogging trail encircling the park. Good for morning and evening runs. Better for people watching

Safe place for joggers to get some laps in and sit and have a chat with friends or a loved one. The covid curfew means it closes early at 8pm these days.

Great place for walking...ensure you take the necessary precaution as persons there for exercise typically do not have on masks, so social distancing is best.

It's a great place to come and relax. Its even better when you need a change of scenery to get work done.

Spacious with sanitation upon entry...there's a ice cream place across the street as well

Great for meeting, exercise and picnic

I love that the park is constantly being maintained. I hadn't been there in a while and i loved that our national heroes were highlighted at the park. The atmosphere there is light and calming, which makes it a nice place to chill with friends.

Beautiful park with the historic icons that changed history for Jamaica and the ability to be mentally free.

A very nice and well-kept park. There are the monuments that bring you closer to the history of the country. I did not think it would bring me that close to the history of Jamaica. I cried when I realized that the country was a slave house and did not end all that good until today. Therefore, I bowed to your heros and ran 1000 meters around the park on a race track. I did this for 1000 years of freedom.

Lights are magical... Go see them!...and get Ice-cream 🍦

Ots calm and cool and a relaxing place to be in the evenings

Nice open space to relax .. and kids to run around

Great eco-friendly space with good amenities for persons using the space. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and was very much appreciated. COVID 19 protocols are observed as well as the facility is properly secured and monitored. Great spot to chill out and take in the scenery of the busy city.

Great place for children to play. For walks runs and general exercise also. Has a table tennis area and bathrooms. Beautiful at Christmas Time‼️

Great for a picnic, exercising and playing table tennis. Has a good ambiance, good food is all around and gives some history about the national heroes.

Nice atmosphere and there is a Pizza Hut up the road some so grab a box and a friend and vibe

The park is absolutely beautiful from all sides, rich with Jamaican history. Perfect for relaxing and being social with your friends, but if you rather be alone, it's the place for that too. The park also has a 500m jogging track for the fitness freak in you. Feeling the cool breeze while lying under the leaves of the tall trees will surely encourage you to spend the day.

I was there quite early in the morning - around 7 am - and was so pleasantly surprised! The park is clean, safe, well maintained and packed with people jogging or exercising in the beautiful background of a green lung in the middle of busy Kingston. Even the bathrooms are clean and well taken care of. The vegetation is varied and colorful. My son took time to admire the statues of the national heroes and read about them. My toddler was ecstatic and ran free the whole time! I think this is a beautiful place for chilling, relaxing and enjoying nature even when you're in town.

The place was clean, the grass were trimmed and luscious, the flowers were beautiful and I enjoyed that they were labelled. It is obvious the staff work really hard in maintaining the appearance of the park

I absolutely love this park. It is such a pleasure to walk along the palm trees and other tropical vegetation that adorns the pathways. At Christmas, the park is decorated with various lights and installations that add lovely seasonal charm. The running track is nice and cushy. It's a picture perfect spot.

A great relaxing place to take the family or go on a picnic.

Lovely environment. Great place to relax, meditate, chat with a friend and exercise. Would be nice if more benches were shaded, as when the sun is out some benches aren't ideal for use.

Very calming scenery and clean environment Lots of places to take pictures!!

Great park to just sit and relax, there is also a mini track field where you can do some exercise. Have security guard so you are pretty safe.

The best park in Kingston,clean, great backgrounds yo take pics,can jog also,play games r just chill on the grass r benches

Wonderful ambiance, relaxing place to meet up with friends or just chill alone by yourself. Close to the hotels and food places.

I love the lights. used to love going here but after the shooting at the gate a few months ago I started think about the real safety of the park. If you want a fun family experience and somewhere for your kids to play it is great. Don't walk with large sums of cash as recommended for every in this country. I think the park needs security cameras and more guards.

The garden is absolutely gorgeous and is well trimmed and maintained at all times. The grass is healthy, lush and green. Very suitable for children to run and play safely. I highly recommend for a family Sunday afternoon out.

Best place in Kingston to go for a run or walk. Clean environment, padded ground perfect for jogging. Table tennis tables and a mini jungle gym. Nice place to take children as well for a fun out doors experience in the heart of the city. Security is always present as well.

I just love this Park; very pristine- clean, well-kept, pleasant and central; cudos to the NHT on an excellent job! Whatever happened to the water feature that was lit-up at nights and added some excitement to the location? Is that gone forever?

One of Jamaica's public treasures, this well maintained and manicured park is adequately staffed by security personnel and sanitation officers. This park supports health, recreation, bonding, socializing, meditation and even a great ice cream store adjacent to the park. You will not be disappointed.

Very versatlocation for jogging, exercising, relaxing with family and friends or meet up to play chess. Well manicured lawns and ample shade makes it inviting.

Bob Marley's birthday celebration held at emancipation Park was just amazing!!! Really great job by the Hon. Olivia 'Babsy' Grange, Minister of Sports, Youth, and Culture for putting the show together. The Park is large and well-kept and was filled on the night of the event. Thanks for the amazing lineup 🙌

One of the more peaceful little corners in Kingston. The 500m running track is a nice addition, I'm going to go back and run a few laps!

The park is a beautiful place that I love to visit .

Wonderful history and culture park . Come learn the national anthem and pledge and learn about our national heroes.

It is one of the most well-kept, free spaces in Jamaica. Perfect picnic spot for the entire family. Beautiful, clean, and safe (thus far, I've heard of one petty theft attempt and the security staff was well ahead of the situation)

This is the place to go to relax, exercise, chill with your friends, play games, read a book and so much more. The property is very big and there are lots of things to explore. You can also grab a bit at a fast food restaurants nearby or have some delicious ice cream 🍦 😋

It was a beautiful place. It was quiet and so cozy for the person I was there with. The scenery was bad, it could've been better but regardless it was cute. Such a beautiful place. You know there's an area for runners? It goes right around the park.

Beautiful park. It's clean and a great place for relaxing on a bench to read a book, taking a walk or exercising. I love the historical statues they have up of national heroes also. It's a great way to educate people about those who helped make Jamaica the great island country it is today. Highly recommend visiting.

Recreational area. Very clean and everyone is so friendly and pleasant. You feel so stress free after sitting and enjoying the scenery

Clean and welcoming little recreational space. It has an area for table tennis and hopscotch, a walking track and pristine lawn with trees scattered about for picnics. It is in the heart of New Kingston and close to many places you can hop over to for entertainment or a meal such as the Marriott, Pegasus Hotel, shopping malls food chains such as Pizza Hut, Burger King, KFC, Chinese restaurants etc.
