The Park is beautiful and well maintained. It is also peaceful and I felt relaxed and comfortable. The opening hours are convenient and although it was busy on occasion it was quiet.

One of the few parks in kingston. Very nice place for the family. A superb picnic known as diner en blanc was just held there.

Scenic Garden which provided a safe place to exercise and relax. Opens early and closes late which is very convenient

For me Emancipation Park is the soul of New Kingston. With beautiful bushes and well kept grounds it is an island of calm surrounded by some of the city's busies streets and most prestigious hotels. The two statues of a naked man and woman are impressive and no one is likely to be neutral towards them - the locals have quite mixed views. The park is most alive from 5 in the morning to 7 when runners or more often walkers perambulate on the 500 metre "track" around the perimeter to lively talk and the occasional singing walker. The scene is repeated with a smaller cast in the evening.At weekends many wedding groups come to have photos taken against the colourful backdrop of bushes in their even more colourful suits, white dresses and beaded hair. It is policed in an understated way and have never heard of anyone experiencing difficulties in or outside the park. I love it although lapping does get boring without company!

I liked the happy atmosphere in the park with children having fun; students studying and having discussions and the overall happiness that I encountered there.

We went here to see the famous statues and as part of our "to do" list after visiting the Marley Museum. I would definitely go back and relax here in the actual park though. It was calm and peaceful and very well tended. A few hardy souls were braving the heat and pounding round he jogging circuit. There were beautiful colourful flowers and plants and plenty of shady areas to relax and enjoy a little breeze during the afternoon heat.Our driver from Negril also admitted that he found it a lovely settng and only wished he had somewhere like this in his home town. A great place to take a picnic and relax for an our or 2 or have a little siesta.

It was okay, good place to eat and meet some friends. Walk or exercise that was great and close to where I lived.

We have been in Jamaica for most of the month and are in Kingston right now. Emancipation Park is the quality of and park in the U.S., BUT NICER, it is emaculatiely maintained...beautiful gardens, a wonderful walking, running 500 k track that goes around the park, with lots of people using it! There are plenty of guards present to make you feel safe and a lot of people present. There are placks around to share the historical reference of the park that add to ambiance. Emancipation Park is a must enjoy, in my book!

When you see the art work, it makes you feel better about being a jamaican. The park is lovely, nice scenery and even a nicer atmosphere.

Unlike the Sir William Grant and the Nelson Mandela parks, you can actually hang out here. It has a nice feel, not so overrun with beggars or the homeless and feels much safer, even at night. There are always people there and it's well lit. Love this park! The park is well maintained and is a national treasure.

Went most mornings for a jog during my Christmas stay at the Courtleigh. Security was present so felt safe and the other joggers were pleasant too.its nice that they have the sign posts that measures the distance you have jogged or walked. Would probably go for more regular jogs if I had something like this close to home. My son was intrigued with the naked statues of a make and female and still talk about this as the highlight of our morning jogs.

Was impressed with the green space and its location.Beautiful flowering trees,safe environment with kids, families and just individuals enjoying a quiet time or funtime, plus a walking tract cant beat that.

A great green space with a nice 500 meter track, lots of history, friendly people and security. I visited a couple times and at night and always enjoyed it.

Very lively, bustling and safe in the middle of the city. Great place to exercise (walking or running). Or you can just sit back and enjoy being in a Kingstonian Oasis.
