Richard & Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors' Park sits on a 2-acre site at the edge of Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, in the space formerly known as Roanoke Plaza. Opened in 1990 as the original location among 24 Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors' Parks across the United States and Canada, the park underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2008 that introduced new sculptural and landscape elements designed to create a contemplative, inspiring environment. The park is anchored by the Transformed Flower sculpture at its northern entrance and the Arch of Triumph, with a Positive Mental Attitude Walk featuring 14 bronze plaques — four inspirational and ten instructional — and a central sculpture by Victor Salmones depicting eight life-size bronze figures passing through a maze representing the cancer treatment journey. A Road to Recovery installation adds seven bronze plaques with educational content about cancer survivorship. In 2009, the park earned a Merit Award for Design from the Central States Region of the American Society of Landscape Architects. Available for outdoor ceremonies and receptions accommodating up to 250 guests, the park offers an uncommon setting that combines nationally recognized public art, contemplative landscaping, and a layered narrative of hope and resilience, all just west of the Country Club Plaza.
