Information
- Location Kansas City, Missouri
- Services Architecture
- Project Type Community (private)
The Regional Law Enforcement Memorial Garden honors and celebrates the men and women who have laid down their lives in the line of duty. Located at the Regional Police Academy, the garden is envisioned as a sequence of ever-changing spaces that tell the stories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as to honor past and current officers and their families, who make daily sacrifices to serve and protect.
The individual spaces in the garden create experiences that change through the seasons and over time, ranging from quiet contemplation and intimate scales to grand and celebratory spaces. These spaces are woven into the natural settings of the site: from the high bluff overlooking the Academy and the forests of the Northland, to the forest grove, through the native prairie. The project is designed to be accessible and open to all.
The Regional Law Enforcement Memorial Garden is a collaboration between the Regional Police Academy and the cities it serves, the Law Enforcement Foundation, Kansas City, Missouri Parks and Recreation, the City of Fountains, and the families of those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty.
