Indy West Undressed

Cancer Survivors Park

This beautiful little park sits on a triangualr piece of land bordered by University Park, 10th Street and Indiana Ave., across from Wishard Hospital.

The 1 1/2 acre park is a tribute to those who have survived cancer. The Cancer Survivor Park in Indianapolis is the inspiration of Richard and Annette Bloch. Richard, the “R” in H&R Block, is a lung cancer survivor whose goal is to provide 52 such parks around the country.

Upon entering the park, visitors begin a Poitive Mental Attitude walk, composed of 14 inspirational and informatve palaques. In the center of the park is an interactive computer screen which depicts the names of local cancer survivors. There are also eight life size sculptures depicting cancer treatment and successes.
