Jadira Veen of the St. Maarten Pride Foundation said it is the desire of St. Maarten Pride Foundation to have the Emilio Wilson Park is made into a national park. She said Mr. Wilson was a humble St. Maartener who kept his property green and the only one who agreed to donate the property for a park. Veen called on the President of Parliament to do whatever is necessary to make sure the Emilio Wilson Park is preserved.
While the representative for the Heritage Foundation called on Arrindell to make sure a street or road is named in honor of Emilio Wilson.
