Brookside Park

Recreation for Everyone

Brookside Park is home to a well-maintained baseball diamond and tennis courts where you can challenge friends to a match or just work on your serve. No matter if you're a seasoned player or just looking to have some fun, these facilities are available for all skill levels.

Families with little ones will appreciate the recently renovated playground that's become quite the hit with the neighborhood kids.

A Breath of Fresh Air

Found in one of KC's historic neighborhoods, this park offers a peaceful retreat from city life without actually having to leave the city. It provides a green space when you need a moment to yourself.

The park combines natural areas with open spaces and amenities that accommodate visitors of all ages. The trees and grassy areas offer a simple, relaxing environment.

Get Moving

If you're looking to get some steps in, Brookside connects to the Trolley Trail - a local favorite for walking, jogging, and biking that lets you explore beyond the park's boundaries.

When snow covers Kansas City, the park's slopes become popular for sledding - a winter playground enjoyed by visitors of all ages.

Community Heart

With sprawling lawns and shady trees, Brookside Park naturally lends itself to picnics, afternoon reading, or simply watching clouds go by.

On the first Sunday of each month, you can find the Really, Really Free Market happening here - a wonderful community initiative where folks share free goods and resources with neighbors in need.

The park offers amenities while maintaining a natural feel, which is why many locals visit throughout the year.
