Om
Hurtige fakta: Denne park blev købt i 1893 for 160 pund takket være fælles penge fra tidligere slaver, hvilket gør den til et symbol på frihed og fællesskab. I dag er den en beskyttet nationalarv og et samlingssted, hvor de årlige frigørelsesfestligheder finder sted.
Højdepunkter: Hvert år den 1. august præcis ved midnat begynder en højtidelighed i parken med trommer og sange, der hylder afskaffelsen af slaveriet. Det øjeblik, hvor hundredvis af fakler tændes i nattens stilhed, føles som om tiden står stille.
Insidertips
- Sit on a bench under the old banyan tree where locals gather and strike up a conversation with someone.
- Bring a bottle of water and a hat because shade is only available under the trees at the edges of the park.
- The streets around the park are best for photos during the golden hour, just before sunset.
- Skip midday visits on weekdays if you want peace, as it is full of school children and vendors then.
