The park covers an area of 400 acres and was formerly a large sugar estate. It was later purchased by Governer Ralph Woodford in the early 1800s. He later donated the land to the city. The savannah is one of the island`s foremost centres of activity. Many of the city`s largest buildings have the savannah as a backdrop. The pitch walk that encircles it is a haven for fitness enthusiasts and those out for a leisurely stroll. The Queen`s Park Savannah is also the location for many of the country`s most exciting events, including Carnival and other cultural and international concerts.
