Queen's Park

6 months ago

It was a nice refreshing Saturday morning with my granddaughter. Loved that we could learn fun facts about the 11 parishes of Barbados by the fountain. There were other inscriptions I wish we could read but they are weather damaged and it is a shame they have not been restored. It was nice to see the huge baobab tree. The signage has it incorrectly spelt. We enjoyed our visit especially in the play park and will visit again.

Lovely park in the city where you can sit and relax by the water fountain, watch a game of cricket, see and exhibition, play or cultural presentation in the Gallery and now at Christmas view the many Christmas trees that have been decorated by schools across the island using recycled materials as part of the Commonwealth wonderland.

I've been coming to Queen's Park for decades, it's a park where lots of cultural outdoor activities and national events takes place annually along with an art gallery and museum inside. The Park has well spread out grounds with room for tents, an entertainment stage and an on-site pavilion along with a cricket playing field and kids play area. Having a North and South gate...the park acts as a short cut for pedestrians to get from one side to the other without having to use the busy street outside which has no sidewalks. The park is well maintained with good upkeep of grounds with a nice fountain display into the shape of Barbados and it's parish pedestals signage, just as you would see it on a map. Barbados's oldest tree can be found here with another less aged one in Warrens which I reviewed previously. I recently attended a Father's day event which was quite nice and fun filled for the whole family with games and activities centered around honouring Fathers...a good visit when traversing through the city with nice benches to relax.

Loved Queens park especially since it was Christmas morning and folks came out to display their outfits, which showed vibrant colors and styles that captivated the eye. The park was well maintained. I especially appreciated the informational columns that displayed facts on each Parish. Overall it was an amazing experience.
