Freedom Park opened its doors in December 2007
On June 1, 2000, the project was formalized, and the Freedom Park Trust was set up in 2001 to develop the heritage project.
The first phase’s construction got underway in July 2003 and was finished in March 2004. In 2003, statewide cleansing and symbolic atonement rituals were held to memorialize the major conflicts in South Africa’s history.
For the Garden of Remembrance, a green belt around the Freedom Park complex, soil from the sites of each ceremony as well as trees symbolic of each province was gathered.
Thabo Mbeki, the president at the time, officially presented the Garden of Remembrance on March 8, 2004, stating that Freedom Park would not be a place of grief but rather a celebration and a monument to humanity.
Freedom Park’s initial phase was finished in time for the country of South Africa’s 10th anniversary of democracy on April 27, 2004. (Freedom Day).
In December 2007, Freedom Park first opened its doors. It serves as a place for both locals and visitors to South Africa to reflect on the past and serves as motivation for the future. One of the most ambitious historical projects the government has ever funded, it aims to physically capture the spirit and soul of South Africa.
In April 2009, the Freedom Park Trust was dissolved and the Freedom Park Cultural Institution came into being. The park continues to be a choice location for key national events and celebrations.
