Beautiful historic park in the heart of Basseterre. It has a massive Upside Down Tree which was awesome to see! 😊👍
Going on a cruise to St Kitts or sailing here yourself? Walk out of the corporate port into old Basseterre and meet the locals at noon lunch break here. Food trucks and ice cream trucks and bank workers and school students all hanging out taking a break. Tons of shade and places to sit and everyone is super friendly.
The Independence Square in Saint Kitts' Capital Basseterre (next to The Immaculate Conception Co Cathedral and others) is a great spot with a park-like atmosphere and having the flora, fauna and fountain to add to the ambiance. One of my personal best traveling moments happened in The Independence Square, a rather bemused individual asked why I was taking a picture of the Independence Square and if I do not see it every day.
I wandered into The Independence Square exploring the City on foot and was struck by its presence and ambiance, those flamboyant trees in bloom really enliven the whole area and made it even more pleasant. Walking through on the paved path and on to the nearby road was a super convenient way to get to the nearby places of interest.
This Place of Interest in the Capital city was a great place to have experienced and I recommend it to anyone in St. Kitts.
Beautiful peaceful green space in the heart of the city. A variety of majestic trees providing shade and company.
Generally a nice spot for ice cream and food. Good to sit and relax. Plenty of shade and grass. Well kept. Not an all day place. No bathroom.
Found some good deals and lovely shop owners.
Very nice and reasonable place to have a drink and eat food. See new faces and people from all over the world..
Oh yes it was very good, a nice place to be, you feel safe, it is very clean and quiet. Big up to everyone.
Great area to sit-down and relax. The space can be more desirable with better Management.
A beautiful open air park in the heart of town with deep historical roots. Independence Square was named on the occasion of St. Kitts and Nevis achieving political independence on September 19, 1983. Originally called Pall Mall Square, The Government first acquired it in 1750 and it rapidly became the administrative, commercial and social centre of Basseterre. The Square was the site of the slave market. Slaves arriving from Africa were temporarily quartered in the basement of a building on the south side of the Square.
I love st kitts very mu h is the best place to live in the whole world

Historic Square in the center of Basseterre.
Nice calm gardens
Was a beautiful park, but the water fountain did not work and you couldn't use the benches because the birds deficated on them.
Nice place with various types of street food
Great taste of history, something that must not be forgotten. Tranquil place to kick back.
