“It is small and very understated - as many things here in the midwest are - as well serene and very poignant. Moving. As it should be. This is not meant to be grand, but more, a reminder to honor those who have not only fought bravely, but given the ultimate sacrifice. It is elegantly simple, and stacked on levels as if into a hillside, keeping nice site lines with the surrounding area. In a "City of Fountains" those here are quite modern, and listening to them is very relaxing. Low maintenance landscaping helps add an again, simple beauty. Parks and rec, or perhaps volunteers keep it well maintained. It should never go in disrepair. If you know a veteran let them know your appreciation.”

“I’m so thrilled they fixed the cracks and repainted this outdoor skating rink! There is also a drinking fountain and a porta-potty. It’s absolutely perfect for roller skating. Just add music.”

“A park next to the house, what could be even better than getting together on a weekend at noon for a picnic, putting on sandwiches and relaxing on a green lawn and watching what is happening around. Class”

“I find this place to be peaceful and a great place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I visit one of my favorite trees and listen to the water flow. The trails are nice and it really gives you the feeling you can only get when you're surrounded by nature. I would recommend it to anyone especially if you're looking for a place to take your family that doesn't cost a thing. Memories are made at places like this.”

“A good park to hang out. The play area is a bit small and there is only one pavilion, but it's not too busy, so there is plenty of space for whatever you want to do.”

“This park is still a lot of fun that holds a lot of memories for me and my family. A great place for a kid to use his imagination. My only qualm is that it needs a fresh coat of paint and some assurance of disinfecting in this time of covid-19.”

“Beautiful and peaceful little garden. Especially loved the featured water fountains and features in every little pockets. Lovely place to capture a moment filled with fragrant flowers and blooming nature at its best. Hidden from the busy streets of the metro area is a this secret garden where you can sit under a shaded tree and smell fresh gardenias and exotic citrus fruits.”

“I love this park I love the new Labyrinth they put in very tranquil but I heard that this summer they're going to take the Labyrinth away and put in some type of Chiefs symbol... which I think is a big mistake... I will not be going to that Park as much if they take the Labyrinth away... which I think is the best part of that Park... why ruin a good thing????”

“Wonderful community garden oasis within the city. It has community plots, as well as individual ones. Flowers, some edible flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, a lily pond and more. They also have chickens and ducks, which they keep for eggs. A plethora of information from the gardeners on how reclaim land for organic gardening.”

“Got a chance to pay respect to the fallen soilders”
Address: Woodland Avenue and, Swope Pkwy, Kansas City, MO 64130, USA
“It's a good park with courts and benches, a lot of open space for frisbee and soccer, and paved trails connecting to all the other park space along Brush Creek. It is right next to one of the waterfalls as Brush Creek widens. It's right on Swope Pkwy with a little lot that can fit about 10 cars. I would suggest approaching from the east for best entry by car.”

“Hyde Park is a fantastic park in Kansas City! Though its playground equipment is somewhat underwhelming, It is a huge park that offers a well kept lawn for kids and dogs to play on. It really shines as a place to go to jogging or to walk a dog since it has a very long, well paved path (crossing several streets) to travel, with interesting views of the pilgrims garden, fountains, etc. It is also best for any kind of lawn activity like playing catch, croquet, cornhole, etc. There are plenty of beautiful shade trees and the lawn is well mowed at all times, with trash cans available. It's a great picnic spot for this reason in the summertime. On the north end (which I am most familiar with), there are free outdoor movies shown some Fridays through the summer and some other seasonal events. In the winter (when it snows), families go sledding on the giant hillsides near the north tennis court. On the same leg, but a little further south, you can walk the butterfly/pilgrims garden (great for meditation), and some kids playground equipment and swings. There are no bathrooms, though there are plenty of trash receptacles. Sometimes there are doggie poop bags in the dispensers, but often not, so please bring your own. There is also a water fountain near the pilgrims garden, but I haven't seen it operational often. Definitely one of my favorite parks, for both the convenience and the variety of things to do/see!”

“This is the south most entrance to the Blue River Parkway Trails. There is only room for one car to park to the left of the road without blocking the utility access road. A truck with good clearance could park to the right of the road. You'll find the Wagon Loop trail head to the left as you are coming to the end of the gravel road. The trail's left, west, branch follows the river. The wooded picture shows where the east trail branch merges with a high line access road. Keep to the right of the access road to pick the trail back up. There are a lot of ticks in the area as of May 28, 2018.”

“I've walked the trail often but hadn't been out there for a few months. While the temperature was 98 it was still active among the critter community. (Bugs and Butterflys) There's plenty of color around the trail and plenty of sun is that's your preference. There are shaded areas of the trail as well. It's not completely flat but not overwhelming so it's a great path to walk at your leisure or at a fast pace. Bring a camera if time permits. There's simple beauty there.”

“The park provides access to the river and to the Trails across the bridge immediately to the east. There are good fishing access trails to the left of the fishing/boating access ramp. The ramp is at the end of the road leading into the park.”

“This is the best access to the Wagon Loop Trail from E Blue Ridge Blvd. Although not marked, it's easy to find as it's just east of the bridge as shown in the photo. Once on the trail, head south and you will see the sign shown in the second photo. The west branch, next to the river, is very easy to follow. The east branch is clear to follow, but sometimes one loop section of the eastern branch almost connects to the another loop section. Also, the eastern branch merges with a high line utility road at the southern end. Keep to the right of the road to pick the trail up again. This is a beautiful area and I saw a Gray Heron above the river. I parked across the bridge in the Blue River Park (Brown Athletic Area). As of May 28, 2018, ticks were bad in the area. So, take precautions.”

“Beautiful scenery and awesome trails that wind all through the woods. There are plenty of places to feel secluded but you're never too far from a road and despite there being several tougher trails there's always an easy alternative close by. There's hikers and bikers that share the trails so in some areas you'll have to move over occasionally to let a biker through. In my experience everyone is very nice and nobody has tried to run us down. Great place to get some exercise and take in some beautiful sights.”

“Very nice, serene and well maintained park area frequented mainly by nearby residents and their guests. Absolutely beautiful!”
