Jacob L. Loose Memorial Park, Public park in Kansas City, United States.
Jacob L. Loose Memorial Park is a 75-acre public green space in Kansas City featuring a rose garden, tennis courts, and playgrounds. Networks of pathways run through the grounds, creating distinct areas for outdoor activities.
The site witnessed the Battle of Westport in 1864, a major Civil War engagement fought across this landscape. This military history forms part of the land's past before it became a park.
The rose garden serves as a gathering place where people mark important moments in their lives, and the flowers frame celebrations throughout the year. Visitors witness how this space connects to the community's traditions and rituals.
The park has accessible pathways and open areas to explore at your own pace, making it suitable for casual strolls or dedicated outdoor time. Wear appropriate clothing for the weather and stay on the main paths.
The rose garden holds around 3,000 individual plants, creating a remarkable display of color during blooming season. This scale of horticultural effort distinguishes the garden as a major feature of the grounds.
