Located in the northwest corner of Al Lopez Park, Cancer Survivors Plaza is designed to provide information, education, hope and enjoyment to those who visit or traverse the park. There are three fundamental elements of the plaza. First is a sculpture as a focal point created by the renowned Mexican sculptor, Victor Salmones. It is eight life-size figures passing through a maze depicting cancer treatments and success. People can walk among the figures, touch them, walk through the maze and generally visualize themselves being helped -- it is moving. The second element is a "Positive Mental Attitude Walk." This is where a person can stroll, meditate or read some 14 plaques; four are inspirational and 10 are specific suggestions to fight cancer. The third factor is a "Road to Recovery" with seven plaques explaining what cancer is and basic actions to successfully overcome the disease.
