St. Maarten

Sights & Landmarks

Emilio Wilson Park is located in Saunders on the grounds of what was once a sugar plantation that used slaves. In 1954, Emilio Wilson, the grandson of a former slave, bought the property and turned it into a public park in memory of the slaves who made St. Martin what it is today. Today, the property is controversial, but it remains open for recreational use.
