Visit Blind Boone Park in Warrensburg, Missouri; the park built by volunteers!

Blind Boone Park was originally a segregated park for the African-American community. The Blind Boone Park Renovation Group volunteers worked for 5 years to raise funds for the park's renovation. They also worked with volunteers from every walk of life to create a beautiful ADA park for everyone to enjoy. The history of the park is not lost; bronze signs and audio boxes share the history of the park to all who visit. As one volunteer, Charles Briscoe put it, "What once kept us apart now brings us together".

Blind Boone Park is at 402 West Pine Street. A tribute to John William "Blind" Boone, the park features a reflexology walkway, roped pathways, type, Braille and audio information signs, ADA approved bathrooms, wheelchair accessible picnic tables, shuffleboard court and horseshoe pits. The scenery includes a 20' gazebo with electricity, a life-size steel and bronze sculpture depicting Boone, a 13' tall wind harp, plants native to our area, plus a sensory garden for the visually impaired.
