I enjoyed that the playground areas were on turf so the kids could go back and forth from the playground to the splash pad. There are covered shelters and seated benches. Would recommend bringing a chair or blanket just in case they are full. We were there right as it opened, so no issues. Another feature we liked is that the park is fenced in. Also, nice bathrooms!

Adorable little park! My friend and I had lunch at a picnic table here this past weekend. It was…read morecompletely empty on a gorgeous day! No idea why no families were here as it looked to have some good playground equipment. Nice little park with tons of parking and completely free of others if you want to dominate on the monkey bars.

Love going there to sled safely! A great little space to get some sun with the family.read more

Glendale park is easily accessible and has a paved walking track surrounding two playgrounds…read more Pros: - paved walking area - park bathroom - two playgrounds - both wood chips and rubber flooring on play areas - well maintained and mowed - picnic tables, grills and trash cans available - wide open, grassy area for playing - safe for little kids Cons: - people leave trash a lot - noisy from street (if that's an issue for you) - there are almost always cars parked here without exiting their vehicles. No problems so far, though. I love this park and go often. I just wish it was cleaner.

I discovered this park in my search for a new hiking spot. We just moved to the area from St. Louis…read moreand I was in desperate need of a more "natural" trail. I'm glad I found this place! You'll first notice there's (what looks like) a nice sitting area with a bathroom, and that overlooks the fields leading up to the playground. I've always seen families on the playground, but I cannot personally attest to its cleanliness or stability. There was also a sporting event of some kind going on in the park's field this past weekend, so it's a family-friendly spot. The parking lot is pretty large. There are neat little secluded parking spots that have a nice view of the river--they would provide a cool picnic area. I always see couples, old and young, just hanging out under the trees, taking in the scenery. I also see lots of fishermen hoping for catfish. The actual trail doesn't have a name. This is the same trail that bow hunters take to get to the main hunting ground. I haven't come across a hunter on the trail yet, but I see them in the parking lot frequently. The trail itself is peaceful, pretty, and easy. No hills, no challenges, just a nice relaxing stroll. It's a great beginners trail and a good running trail. You'll find the trail head in between the yellow markers at the very back of the parking lot. Remember to wear bright colors during hunting season!

Great place to meet somebody and walk around…read more.. 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!

Often times, a park is a park. But this park, dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King,…read moreJr., stands for so much more. There is green space and walking trails, tennis courts and a playground, shelters and areas to explore. But there are also consistent reminders of the thoughts and legacy left to us all by the late Dr. King. The playground is a recently renovated space done in partnership with the '15 & the Mahomies' Foundation, the community-focused group backed by the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes. Safe, new equipment with a soft surface makes for all kinds of playtime fun for the littles. Getting outside, with cooperative weather, has always been a wonderful way to spend family time and this playground offers exactly the kind of fun atmosphere in which to enjoy that time. The area is lined to the south with paved walking paths and sidewalks, plenty of space and very accessible. You are just a mile or so from the Plaza, the UMKC campus, and more. This is a green space tucked in a beautiful area with lots of historical and cultural significance. We should all be so fortunate to not only use the space but remember of the legacy of the man who inspired its name.

This park is spacious, but tucked back into a residential neighborhood…read more Pros: - Two playgrounds (with wood chips) - Multiple tennis courts - Two baseball diamonds - Paved walking path between the playgrounds - Restrooms available - Fenced-in dog park - Covered picnic table area - Nature trail Cons: - As always, I wish people would clean up their trash - The restrooms are often locked - The park is a little run down - There is a lot of "through traffic" that makes it feel a little less safe Overall, this is a nice park. The playground equipment is nice enough, but definitely old. I can't speak to the nature trail, because I didn't walk it. I'll probably return to this park when my toddler is a bit older.

The park itself was great and spacious (except for the mud but that's okay since it's winter time…read morewith snow melting) but there was no sense of ownership with dogs owners. When two dogs meet for the first time, you need to make sure you are by the dogs LEASHED until you know they are okay with each other.... We are visiting family in the area and brought our dog to enjoy the park and I'm all for dogs interacting and playing together. But when someone else's dog starts "playing" with yours and it's doing guttural barking sounds, that's not playing that's too much. The other dog would not back down and the owner was across the park just watching. I was holding my dog and the other dog kept biting his legs and my dog would cry out. I tried picking him up, but golden retrievers are a little big and heavy, so I could only hold his two arms as he was trying to get away from the other dog. The other dog missed my dogs arm and got me instead. This is NOT "playing". At all... only will go back to the park when there are not any other dogs there.

This a neat little park tucked away in a quiet Liberty neighborhood…read more An asphalt trail surrounds the park, which is a bit unique, because it's cut into two sides by a creek. The west side of the park includes a rope-based spiderweb contraption, that the kids can climb and swing from, a softball field, a soccer field and a bathroom facility. The east side of the park includes a playground with some swings, a jungle gym and a slide, a cabana area for groups and lots of green space. It's the perfect spot for a picnic, a place to layout and read a book if the weather is right or a even a place to toss a around a frisbee or a football.
