Sir Eric Matthew Gairy, during the time of Independence, was noted to be a man who concentrated on the development of the country and its people.
It’s remembered he coined the term within his Grenada United Labour Party, very familiar among his supporters, “Action and Progress”.
Today, one of the monuments that stand out in his honour is Progress Park in St. Andrew, which is the mecca for many sporting events, and is now into the circle of stories concerning Grenada and its 50 years after Independence.
How Progress Park came about remains vivid in the mind of Errol Walker who was with a group of individuals “back in the day” playing cricket in the road, taking a break from his job where he was located at the Paradise Junction.
Walker says it’s a story that cannot be forgotten.

Well, the golden Independence anniversary fever continues with Grenada’s culture on display and we’ve have been making magic with the many productions emanating out of the creative sector.
Today, we look at Tallpree on show, as well as a concentration of drumming from the One Unit Group and the 2024 Grenada Independence Song put together in a Wee FM News Clip version, which we’ll seek to do from time to time.
