I visited the National Heroes Park on a day that it rained. The guards were therefore not on duty nor did the tour guide take us directly into the park to absorb the history of the place. I am sure this is a great Park. Simply go on a day with much better weather.
Not bad not excellent, is not clean at all, they need to reconstruct some of the paths, theres not much to see if you dont like history.
This could be a great recreational facility if attention is given to bringing it to the standard of Emancipation Park.
Sadly, this is an example of an attraction with promise. However, as is, there is nothing in the park or its environs that makes it a worthwhile attraction to learn about to learn about the country, culture or people.
If you are in Kingston, you should really walk around here for awhile. This is true history, and where the graves of some of Jamaica's "Hero's", may be viewed.I saw the guards... they were standing there stoic, so I went up to them to see if I could get them to break into smile.....and they did.I was in a bit of a rush, as I was on my way to Studio-Mix in Waterhouse. I just had to stop in out of respect.Its a nice place to just sit, have lunch, take some pictures, people watch, and, take some time to honor those who have passed, who truly enhanced the culture of this sweet island.
This area captures a peek into the history of this beautiful island, there are several monuments dedicated to the forefathers who helped to make that island what it is today. However if you are looking for some grand tour, then this is not the place for you.
It is a great place to sit and observe real Jamaican life going On Or just sit and watch makes it worth The walk
The National Heroes Park is a fitting place for the graves of a lot of important Jamaican historical men and women, some who are named a National Hero. There is also the grave of the unknown Jamaican soldier of the great war (world war 1), that is guarded by 2 soldiers in full dress uniform.The park is nice and well maintained, sadly it seems not many people visiting the park. Definitely worth a stop if you are in Kingston.
Not the easiest place to get to, and there is very little shade so it can be very hot in the blazing Sun. I felt very proud to be of Jamaican descent while reading about our heroes. Refresh yourself with some coconut water.
Great place to walk, for exercise or just as a relaxation break. A few more trees would add to the ambiance since it is in a busy trafficked area.
