A Walk in the Park…

March 30 is Take a Walk in the Park Day. We love the wide variety of scenic places to enjoy in Kansas City. Whether you like wooded trails, waterways or something a bit more urban, Kansas City’s parks offer something for everyone. These are a few of our favorite places to take a walk.

• Antioch Park

  The 44-acre park features two fishing lakes, beautiful walking paths around and across the lakes, a rose garden and amazing play spaces. The park is perhaps best known for its Dodge Town-themed play space. Children enjoy pretend play in the historic Wild West-styled village with a post office, general store and bank, making it a great place for pretend and hide and seek.

• Berkley Riverfront Park

  For historic views of the Missouri Riverbank and downtown Kansas City, the Berkley Riverfront Park is the place to go. The greenspace offers 2 miles of paved trails to enjoy beautiful views of downtown. If you’d prefer to ride, there are bike lockers and racks, and a nearby B-cycle rental station located at Third & Grand Boulevard.

• Black Hoof Park

  Whether you like wooded trails, waterways or something a bit more urban, Kansas City’s parks offer something for everyone. These are a few of our favorite places to take a walk.

• Loose Park

  The 75-acre park features a playground with a sand pit and small rock wall, a beautiful pond, fields perfect for tossing the old football, Frisbee, or playing tag. Visitors also enjoy paved trails and an exquisite rose garden. The beauty of the park with the tree-lined walkways, pond, bridges and landscaping has made it a favorite for generations of Kansas Citians.

• Parkville Nature Sanctuary

  The scenic 3-mile loop trail through the woods features a beautiful waterfall, a shelter for picnics and natural terrain to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. The park is near downtown Parkville, making it a great day trip stop.
