Tell us what you want in this park
A national park for St. Kitts and Nevis
This is the park we intend to build at St. Paul’s, and it is named for a man the country already knows. You come in off Govt. Main Road into a formal arrival court, climb to the plaza that carries the statue of the Right Excellent Robert L. Bradshaw, and walk on through the gardens on a Walk of Fame that gives our national figures a permanent place. At the centre of it all is a lawn wide enough for a full parade.
Around that spine we have put the things that keep a park in use on an ordinary weekday and not only on national days: an interpretation center, a wellness center, an amphitheater, gardens and ponds, a wading pond for the children, and vendor units with shade to sit and eat.
The park by area
The grand lawn, sized to hold a national parade and still work for a fair or a concert.
The amphitheater, with the stage set down into the terraces.
The wellness center, placed at the heart of the gardens.
Masterplan, labelled
The same layout read from above, with each part of the park marked where it will stand.
Site plan
The measured plan: the park boundary against Govt. Main Road, the parking and retail range on the western edge, and every facility named and sized.
What the drawings set out
- A welcome sign and entrance court off Govt. Main Road, with a bus stop and a taxi stand so the park is reachable without a car.
- The Bradshaw statue plaza, raised above terraced lawn seating.
- A Walk of Fame running through the gardens in three linked stretches.
- An interpretation center where the history is told, with an elevated roof terrace.
- A grand fountain at the head of the retail and office range.
- Gardens, a pond and bridge, and a separate wading pond for small children.
- The grand lawn, for parades, mini sports, fairs and concerts.
- An amphitheater and stage, with the wellness center and a gazebo alongside.
- A pergola eating area served by pop-up container units for vendors.
- Parking, office space and retail space along the western edge.
- Security huts and restrooms, and land held for a future police station.
A walk through the park
The renders below follow the route a visitor would actually take, in from Govt. Main Road, up to the statue, along the gardens, and down to the amphitheater at the far end.
Arrival
The welcome wall and the processional stair up from Govt. Main Road, flags flying either side, lit so the entrance still reads after dark.
The Bradshaw statue plaza
The statue stands on a raised circular plaza, with terraced lawn seating stepping down to the walkways so a crowd can gather and see.
The Walk of Fame at dusk
The mural wall lit from below, with the gazebo standing beyond the planting.
The promenade by day
The same walk in daylight, passing under the raised deck of the interpretation center.
Interpretation center
A curved roof deck wraps the building and carries visitors up to a terrace that looks back over the park.
Pop-up vendor units and eating area
Converted containers give local vendors a fixed place to trade, with a timber pergola shading the picnic seating beside them.
The bridge and pond
A planted pond crossed by a white bridge, joining the gardens to the amphitheater.
The amphitheater, grass terraces
Turf terraces seat an audience on the lawn for daytime programmes.
The amphitheater, stage
The stage and stone terraces in the late afternoon, set for a smaller seated event.
The public survey
The Ministry is asking the public what they make of the proposal to expand the Robert L. Bradshaw Monument at St. Paul’s into a full national park. Tell us how you would use the park and what you would like to see in it. It takes a few minutes, and the answers go to the project team.
