    Boat
    Stoney C.

    This is a cool local lake that has lots to offer. Great hiking and paved trails, swim beach, shore fishing, boat ramps, you can rent a shelter, camp, and can golf. They have a marina where u can rent pontoon boats out for very inexpensive!!! Bring your kids here to get some fish food and feed the carp. This isn't a party lake and beware of wake zones and stumps. Just a update. Boats are available for rent. Also the swim beach and Rowdy Ribbits are closed for the season.

    Anytime that you and or your family can get outside and have fun...WINNING! If you do not like being outside, your parents did you a disservice by not showing you the joys and wonders of nature. Get out there and do something fun today! Longview Lake has many things going for it. Boating, swimming, hiking/walking/bicycle trails, even R/C airplane areas. Go explore and enjoy Mother Nature!

    Disclaimer: Rating for trails/observation tower *only*…read more A good walk or hike in some wide open green spaces will do wonders for the soul. Sure, Kansas can be limited in some of its landscape offerings, but if you don't take advantage of what's right in front of you, then you might miss the beauty that is many of our area lakes & parks. Kill Creek Park is just that beauty. There are trails of various difficulty, but none that are so strenuous that you could not do them with more than moderate effort. You can hike around a forest, around a lake, or you could just hike out in the prairie. There are multiple trails, all of which are well-marked, and they blend together at certain spots. Mountain/trail bikers might share the space at times but I have always had pleasant sharers of the paths. The trails are well-maintained with openings here & there for power to run through and the overall elevation changes are minimal. We've done the 'Outer Hank' several times and the circuit takes less than two hours. Wear your hiking shoes as some of the trails can have tricky steps and keep your eyes open to see nature in front of you. The observation tower is 3+ levels offering different views, all of which open in any direction. There is even an elevator to the top that is in service for most of the year. I suggest an evening view to the west for an optimal Kansas sunset, many of which can't be replicated. If you want mountains or beach, then you won't find it here. But if you want the peaceful, pastoral open skies of the West, then Kill Creek offers you just a taste of nature can do.

    This is the pool I grew up going to, so if you're looking for a completely objective, childhood…read morememory free review, look elsewhere! This is a pretty plain Jane pool by all accounts. There are a couple diving boards, a kids slide and baby pool area and then just a large square of a pool. I love it though, it reminds me a bit of the pool in The Sandlot. They also have nice, quality beach chairs which makes a big difference when you're just laying out and lounging. It's $6 for non-residents (as of summer of 2015) and definitely worth the small price of admission. It's clean, sun-drenched and all you could ask for in a community pool.

Since I'm a filthy…read moreMissourian I had to pay $6 cash to get in (I'm really not sure if they accept credit or debit cards), but I felt like the admission was worth it. There's not much in the way of bells and whistles at this pool - There's just the one small slide, and I think either two or three lap lanes. Even though the amenities are somewhat Spartan, the pool is extremely clean, the staff is pleasant, and the many many kids that were enjoying themselves there acted like civilized tiny people and not like horrible trolls. Shocking! This pool seems like a magnet for neighborhood teens; there's a stack of bikes right outside the entrance. If I had grown up in that area I definitely would've been here all summer. They have a very basic concession stand that sells PBJ's (how cute!) and a teeny wading pool for the tiny swimmers. There are lifeguards on staff (three or four on the afternoon I went), and the showers and bathrooms were very clean. I'll be back!

Very central location if you're coming from the south or from the north Biggest recommendation is figure out where you're gonna meet ahead of time so you're not driving around going as it near the tennis courts or the front or the rose garden that type of thing because it is about a mile around so there's lots of different areas to park

    If I were recommending a place to visit on a beautiful Kansas City day, then Loose Park would be at…read morethe top of my list. The open greenspace, the beauty of the paths, or even the rose garden in season makes for a sensational day at the park. There are photo op spots at virtually every corner of the park. If the fountain is going in the rose garden, then it is a popular place for a bushel of pics. The swale in the middle of the park, lined with bald cypress trees, offers many shady, comfortable spots for a picnic or just a rest. String yourself up your own hammock between trees and catch a cozy nap or a comfortable spot to read. Check out the raised placards for a memorial of the Battle of Westport, emphasizing Kansas City's part during the Civil War. Everyone loves a little history, and to do so looking to the west and learning about that conflict 160+ years ago, you can actually see it in your mind's eye. To place that memorial with beautiful green space is a nod to how Kansas City makes the most of its public real estate. Park in any number of lots or even find a spot on one of the side streets. Restrooms are open in nice weather, and there's plenty of spots in which to reserve a pavilion. Outstanding Kansas City landmark!

I was not familiar with this trail so it was a little confusing to get to. Tip: you can access the trail by the tennis courts on Blue river rd. Tip 2: the bathrooms by the tennis courts were not open yet (March) and no bathrooms along the trail. Along the trail you pass lots of the park's amenities: shelter house, tennis courts, benches, playground, golf course, water, love lock bridge and more. If you do the entire hike it's about 5 miles. Parts of the path are secluded but I was with a friend and felt safe. I would recommend doing the hike with at least another person, although there were lots of people walking, running, and cycling on the trail. Good trail for all levels.

The bridges were…read moreawesome and the lock bridge was really cool, but you just get to the red bridge and only go on it and turn around. The tennis courts seemed nice and they had basketball hoops, a park and bathrooms . You can go to the bridge and then go on the other paths. I will say there was about seven cars with older men in the parking lot in the last parking lot just sitting in there cars which was kind of interesting . Honestly for being a younger woman with her kid I probably wouldn't go back by myself again, everyone was friendly though. Also a semi parked just off the dirt/ gravel way with a car and I didn't feel comfortable going that way so I had to just turn around completely. The people do come and clean the bathrooms which is good, I didn't go in there but I saw the guy going in at one point before my walk. By the bridge there was literally trash next to the trash can so like come on my fellow walkers do better.

It's pretty far south, so plan to drive even if you live in central JOCO like me - it's a solid 25 mins. It's convenient for me to visit when I'm out near my parent's new house though so that's a perk and has been what brings me here on occasion. A few years ago we also did soccer here and honestly I'd recommend doing soccer elsewhere. Parking is horrible and it's kind of a cluster. Overall the park itself is nice and fun to explore, but up to you on if it's worth the drive.

The new paved sidewalk around the park is a nice upgrade, and there are plenty of doggy bag stations and trash cans (just wish more people would use them). There's a retention pond that dogs love to splash in, though I've heard it may be removed soon. Bathrooms are decent, and there's a water fountain for both people and pets. I also like that there's a separate, fully paved area just for dogs under 25 lbs. Most of the owners I've met here have been friendly and attentive, which makes the park feel safe and welcoming. Overall, a solid spot that keeps getting better with each update.
