Photos by Erasmus Williams | BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, APRIL 4TH 2007 - The Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw Memorial Park will not only feature a full size sculpture of the Federation's First National Hero, but also an Interpretation Centre which
will be constructed in the second phase.
This was disclosed by Director of Physical Planning Mr. Ellis Hazel, who said that it was no accident that the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis, has selected the entrance to the village of St. Paul's for the site of the development of the Robert L. Bradshaw Memorial Park on 3.5 acres of land.
"The Park will feature a signature entrance with alternative at grade or ramp entrance for the physically challenged. It will feature a full size sculpture of the Right Excellent Sir Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw... a symbol of the struggles that we have faced as a nation and the powers we have derived from such struggles. We would want to recognise the contribution being made by the Government of the Republic of Cuba towards the production of the statue," said Hazel to the large crowd gathered to witness the ground breaking ceremony.
Mr. Hazel also disclosed that the Park will also involve the construction of an Interpretation Center to feature a snapshot of the life of the First National Hero and it is hoped that the interpretation center would be used by community groups, the education fraternity as well as visitors to gain information on Robert Bradshaw.
