Emancipation Park, Public park in New Kingston, Jamaica
The six-acre park contains walking paths, exercise stations, fountains, and gardens filled with native Jamaican trees including Lignum Vitae and Tree of Life plants.
The park opened on July 31, 2002, commemorating the abolition of slavery in the British Caribbean through its design elements and symbolic features.
The park's central bronze sculpture 'Redemption Song' depicts an 11-foot male and female figure looking skyward, created by Jamaican artist Laura Facey.
The park welcomes visitors Monday through Thursday from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and Friday through Sunday from 5:00 AM to midnight.
West African Adinkra symbols appear throughout the park's structures, including the perimeter fence, entrance walls, benches, and waste receptacles.
