It’s Election Day! 🇺🇸

KC Daily

It’s finally election day! Although early voting eclipsed record numbers across the country this year, thousands of voters in the Kansas City metro will head to the polls today to cast their ballots in the 2024 Election.

  • Missouri: Polls open at 6 am today and will close at 7 pm. Missouri requires a photo ID to vote, and you can find your polling place HERE. 

  • Kansas: Polls open at 7 am today and will close at 7 pm. Kansas also requires a photo ID to vote, and you can find your polling place HERE. 

A quick note: although we may not all agree on who we think should be in office, we are all Kansas Citians and Americans, and should treat each other with respect and dignity. One thing we can ALL agree on? We won’t miss the non-stop political ads. 🙃

Kansas City Parks and Recreation/Delaney Dean

Swope Park in Kansas City will soon receive an $8.5 million renovation.

  • Green Facelift: The National Parks Service awarded a $4.25 million grant to the park to add a new neighborhood connection trail, a 10,000-square-foot destination playground, shelter renovations, a bandstand, and more. According to Mayor Quinton Lucas, the city of KCMO will match the federal grant.

  • Crown Jewel: Swope Park stretches over 1,800 acres, making it one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. The park is home to many attractions that welcome over 2 million guests annually, including Starlight Theatre, Swope Soccer Village, the Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium, the Lakeside Nature Center, and more.

There is no official timeline for the project, but the planning process is already underway.
