The Ilus W. Davis Park features a shallow, yet large reflecting pool and a fountain that flows into the reflecting pool, shrubs, flower beds, and over three hundred and fifty trees, including ginkgoes, large red oaks, and flowering crab. Four granite pillars in the park act as memorials to employees of Kansas City who have given their lives while on duty, primarily police officers and firefighters. The “First Amendment Podium” provides a speaker’s corner and there is a Bill of Rights monument in the Ilus W. Davis Park’s northeast corner. The park is named after the city’s mayor during the 1960’s.
