Crossroads Park, locally known as Karfur, is an urban park in the Carrefour District of Kingston, Carucere. Once a sugarcane farm, in 1875 it was established as a park at the intersection of two major roads. It occupies about 160 acres of land at the base of the Magua Range, and is home to popular attractions such as the National Botanic Gardens, Kingston Zoo, Lambert Football Field, and Memorial Square. The park was the original playing field of Carrefour FC and the Carrefour Stars, as well as the founding location of the Caruceran Football League and the Caruceran Baseball League. For its vital role in the history of Carucerean sport, it has been declared a historical landmark in 1976 and the opening game of the foothball season is traditionally played at Lambert Field.
