A day well spent! Blue Springs Lake is the closest water location to our current residence. As an east coaster and big fan of the beach, I was a tad disappointed by the lack of large bodies of water near Kansas City. Insert Blue Springs Lake.
Imported sand made me feel like I was spending a day at the beach. The water was warm. The abounding amounts of trees created a scenic view and provided shade from the scorching sun rays. Picnic tables provided a comfortable place for lunch. Life guards watched over families and kids, splashing around with wild abandon.
There is a $8 admission fee for adults and $6 fee for children. Bathrooms with showers available with admission. No alcohol is allowed on the premise. Call to verify their hours-- the website says they open at 11 a.m. but the swim park didn't actually open until 1 p.m.
Grab your inflatables and your best friend, then enjoy a day at Blue Springs Lake! read more
