Teave
Kiired faktid: See park osteti 1893. aastal 160 naela eest tänu endiste orjade ühisrahale, mis teeb sellest vabaduse ja ühtekuuluvuse sümboli. Tänapäeval on see kaitsealune rahvuspärand ja kogunemiskoht, kus peetakse iga-aastaseid Emantsipatsiooni pidustusi.
Esiletõstmised: Igal aastal 1. augustil täpselt keskööl algab pargis pidustus trummide ja lauludega, mis tähistavad orjanduse kaotamist. See hetk, kui sajad tõrvikud süüdatakse öö vaikuses, tundub nagu aeg peatuks.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- 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.
