It's a great large park with a large castle like plastic playground so the kids can play princess and knight. There's another smaller playground for younger toddlers who are just mastering stepping up and sliding down. There are a few swings, a small rock climbing boulder that wouldn't do much damage if a kid fell off, and a picnic area, where my friend and I sat in the shade while the kids played. There was a camp there also, and all the kids were sitting and listening to a police K9 demo. Not far away there's a water park/swimming pool. Overall, this is a great place for kids to come and wear themselves out! I really like it and it's so adorable!

I recommend bring your binoculars, the ones that can capture electronic pics. You're going to see different species of birds my favorite one are the red-headed vultures. You're going to see deers here pretty often. This is my new hangout so I'm going to try to capture pictures of these animals and post them here. Enjoy!!!

We drove around for the better part of 20 minutes to find a suitable place to egress into the water, only to find trash in the water and around the land abutting the water. Honestly, I think the park service tries to keep it nice, because there was a bag in each trash can, and the cans were spaced 20 feet apart to give the hint that when a person has garbage, a person should place said garbage in the receptical. But to no avail - it was like someone had purposely emptied the trash can into the wind, fall refuse where ye may. I frequent parks in the greater KC area, and I'd say Longview is the most inhospitable of the lot. Additionally, we were trying to find a spot - as we like to do - for a picnic, and nearly every shelter was locked mid-day! We called and they told us it was by reservation only. Must be something to do with vagrants. Whatever the case, this was more government facility than oasis, and the wind rips nasty off the points if you find yourself so unlucky. No thanks. I'll never need a revisit.

I've only lived in Raytown for about a year, and since it's started to get warmer, I've been wanting to get out and check out the city more. Being a 'burbs kind of girl, I love parks. This particular park I thought was great! Lee Kenagy park features a large pond that is stocked and you can fish in it, as well as a walking trail that I think is about a half-mile long. It has shelters, restrooms, playgrounds, and even a small "skate park" for boarders and bladers. it's got some pretty decent ramps on it I thought, although I'm definitely not an expert on the subject. There are 4 tennis courts, and a softball area as well. As the weather warms even more, you will definitely see a lot of kids up here playing and skating!
