Case Park offers one of the best vistas in Kansas City. Lewis and Clark recognized the magnificence…read moreof the strategic location overlooking the confluence of The Kansas River into The Missouri River when they first visited in 1806. The northern point of the park is referred to as Clark's Point and a grand statue honoring the expedition now rests there. The park offers lots of green space, old trees, playground equipment and old rock walls and paths, but the crown jewel is the views it offers. The northerly and westerly views are unbeatable for seeing 2 rivers, 2 states, 4 counties, The Buck O'Neil Bridge, The Wheeler Downtown Airport, The West Bottoms, The River Market and plenty of land beyond. The views are even better in the colder months when the perimeter trees do not have leaves. A perfect place to introduce a newcomer to Kansas City's geography, history and natural beauty.

This park is just up the road from where we live so we've been coming here for years. It's a long…read morestretch of grass that runs along the bluff overlooking the West Bottoms and the river. So, needless to say, the views are spectacular from the various overlook points. There is parking, which is nice for a down town park, and there is plenty of room to run around. A sidewalk loops the park which is nice for joggers and strollers. There is a small, non-traditional playground at the south corner of the park meant for kids who are a bit older (elementary school age, not pre-school or younger). Although I bring my pre-toddler here often and she likes to just sit on the astroturf and watch the older kids. There used to be grills but those were taken out which is a shame. I used to come here and grill with my family. Having said all that, I am only giving this park 4 stars because of the inevitable issue with homeless people who frequently hang around and sleep at this park. It hasn't been so bad lately, but when I've been here before, we've been approached by some of these guys asking for money or cigarettes. So, if you're not too keen on that aspect of a downtown park, you might want to steer clear.

Next stop on the endless parade of Mill Creek streamway parks is the Barker access! Like most Mill…read moreCreek streamway parks, this one has top quality jungle gym facilities, a shelter or multiple somewhere, and a restroom full service! The bike path is a continuation through all streamway parks, so you can spend all day on that - which I would remark is a beautiful way to spend an afternoon on a bicycle. The wonderful paving of this path must have cost a fortune! There is ample flat area to do family activities, and reasonable access to the streamway or any number of fishing activities can be underway. I'm really liking this entire streamway Park system throughout the city. Each of these parks is not particularly noteworthy, just a good small Park to enjoy an afternoon. More succinctly however, when considered as a whole unit, I would say this might be the biggest park in the city! Rates are reasonable for renting shelters, and this park particularly - tucked down nicely inside of a valley of sorts - blocks the wind, with an almost estate sort of feel. Very nice indeed!

While on our visit to Kansas City we decided to bring our dog here (very short drive from Oakland…read morePark) and we have never seen anything like this for the public. A 66 acre park, everything you can imagine is here. Many different trails, LOTS of open fields, 2 or 3 different play grounds for kids, a water park area with pools and slides, soccer fields and many soccer goals, 2 basketball courts, pickleball, tennis, you name it they probably have it. Extremely well taken care of and felt very safe walking around at dusk even on the trails with just my dog. The dog parks were HUGE, and everything was very clean and NEW. Just a beautiful area we were happy to have stumbled upon by accident. Great if you're roadtripping and need to get some exercise or wear out your kids and dog!

Time to update this old review as we're all currently practicing social distancing and this is a…read moregreat spot for many people to easily do so. I rode my bike out here on one of the warmest days of the spring and it's always a nice destination. There are tons of trails connecting through it that are best suited for walkers/joggers. Cyclists can ride on them, but they're twisty and full of people, so I'd recommend sticking to the roads more than these on the bike. There are soccer fields, a dog park (with it's own Yelp page), a pool, and it's right in the middle of Leawood and easily accessible off 435. Really glad the city had the foresight to design such a big amenity for Johnson County. If you're a dog owner, there are portions where you can get down to the creek if your doggo needs a quick swim. Granted there are leash laws, but if you have a dog that you can recall well, I say go for it. It's really a nice park overall and perfect for those needing a dosage of sunshine and nature right now.

It is located along a creek in a nice residential area, so the sounds of traffic quickly disappear and are replaced by bird calls. Amenities include a play area with swings and a park bench, a small open area, and a 0.4 mile, nine feet wide, bike/hike trail winding through a wooded area. No dedicated parking was available, but I found parking at the one residential access trailhead on the end of the cul-de-sac near 157th & Reeds. Very nice.
