Happy Earth Day! 🌎

KC Daily

We think Kansas City is the greatest city on Earth. And today we celebrate the planet that we call home! In honor of Earth Day 2024, here are some of our favorite green spaces across the metro:

  • Loose Park - Just south of the Country Club Plaza area, the extremely popular, 75-acre urban green space is KC’s equivalent of Central Park in NYC.

  • Swope Park - At over 1,800 acres, Swope Park is Kansas City’s largest park and one of the largest municipal parks in the United States.

  • Shawnee Mission Park - Shawnee Mission Park is the second-largest park in the metro at 1,600 acres. The most-visited park in the state of Kansas boasts a 120-acre lake, off-leash dog park, Marina, and much more.

  • Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park - This 50+ acre park in Lenexa offers packs plenty of activities for the whole family. The Legler Barn Museum, multiple playgrounds, a roller hockey rink, fishing, and more.

  • Kessler Park - Nestled on the cliffs just off the Missouri River in the historic Northeast, Kessler Park offers 300+ acres of trails, closed roads (Cliff Drive), and even a waterfall.
