Peace Park
Columbia, United States
Peace Park in Columbia, United States, sits on the University of Missouri campus and is renowned both as an informal arboretum and a historic site of peaceful protest. Originally named McAlester Park, it was rededicated as Peace Park after anti-war rallies held in response to the Kent State Massacre in 1970, with a memorial peace symbol created from rocks to honor the victims.
The park features over 100 trees of 43 varieties, including several estimated to be more than 150 years old, and Goose Creek flows through its serene landscape. Besides being a hub for student activism and public gatherings, Peace Park is also cherished for its quiet beauty, legend of the stone bridge bringing good fortune to couples, and its role in Columbia’s annual Earth Day festival, making it a cherished cultural and natural sanctuary.
