About the Location

A Neighborhood Oasis

Found in Kansas City, Kansas, Welborn Park spreads across nearly 22 acres of green space - a peaceful retreat from the urban hustle. This park provides a quiet spot where you can take a leisurely stroll, unwind on a bench, or catch up with friends in the open air.

The park's crown jewel might just be its mini pitch soccer facility, where local players of all skill levels come to practice their footwork and enjoy quick matches. Beyond the dedicated pitch, there are plenty of open fields meant for impromptu soccer games or whatever sport strikes your fancy.

What You'll Find Here

Welborn's landscape features generous green spaces ideal for recreational activities. On windy days, these open fields transform into perfect kite-flying territory, with plenty of room to run without worrying about trees or obstacles. A walking trail loops around the park, giving joggers and amblers alike a defined path to enjoy their exercise.

Kids will appreciate the playground with its equipment for climbing and playing, while families might gravitate toward the picnic area complete with tables and grills - great for afternoon cookouts or birthday celebrations.

Ball handling more your style? The basketball court offers a solid surface for shooting hoops or playing pickup games. As for facilities, be aware that restrooms are limited to portable toilets, so adjust your expectations accordingly.

Local Favorite

Welborn Park is popular with locals - a place where neighbors connect, kids play, and people enjoy the outdoors. Its convenient location makes it easily accessible for Kansas City residents looking for a quick nature fix without venturing far from home.

The park stays in good shape with regular mowing and cleanup efforts. Dog owners particularly appreciate the open spaces for morning and evening walks with their four-legged friends. While generally peaceful and welcoming, it's worth noting that like many urban parks, Welborn is best enjoyed during daylight hours when it's at its liveliest and most vibrant.
