Well-kept park in New Kingston, Emancipation Park is a haven of tranquility in an otherwise lively city. You can come here for relaxation, a jog, but also to have a look at the Redemption Song statue.
From the central area of Emancipation Park, I walked a lane with reflecting pools on both sides towards the ceremonial entrance at the crossroads of Oxford Road and Knutsford Boulevard at the southeastern entrance of the park. Here I found Redemption Song, the unique and expressive bronze sculpture made by Laura Facey especially for the park. It consists of a man and a woman, bigger than life size, both naked and looking towards each other. They symbolize the breaking free of the slaves of Jamaica, looking up to the sky, not to each other. Normally, the base of the sculpture emerges from a pool, which is considered as elemental according to the sculptor, but this was also dry on my visit. The nudity of the sculpture caused some heated debate in Jamaica after it was put in its prominent place. Emancipation Park commemorates the emancipation of the slaves, and as such is a tribute to the Jamaican people, most of whom were originally taken to the island by the English to work the sugar cane fields. Moreover, in details in the park you can still see decorations referring to the African heritage of the Jamaican people: motifs taken from Ghana.
