Englewood Park

Natural Oasis

Located in Kansas City, Englewood Park spans over 50 acres of greenspace that offers a nice contrast to city life. The park's lush greenery and well-maintained trails make it well-suited for morning jogs, afternoon strolls, or simply walking off that extra slice of pie you probably shouldn't have had.

At the heart of Englewood sits a beautiful lake that not only helps cool things down during those sweltering summer days but also represents the park's centerpiece. If you're lucky, you might spot some impressive wildlife going about their day - herons gracefully hunting for fish, Canada geese honking their opinions, and occasionally even bald eagles soaring overhead (yes, really!).

Fun for Everyone

Englewood Park doesn't skimp on activities. Kids can burn off energy at the leisure playgrounds designed with different age groups in mind. Parents of little ones will appreciate the fenced-in areas that keep curious toddlers from wandering off. The fire truck play structure is a definite highlight - complete with steering wheels that have probably "driven" thousands of imaginary miles.

Fishing enthusiasts, grab your gear! The lake is stocked with catfish and sees anglers testing their luck year-round. For family gatherings, there are picnic sites with BBQ facilities great for weekend cookouts. Sports lovers haven't been forgotten either, with sports courts available for basketball, baseball, and football games.

Getting here is hassle-free thanks to multiple parking areas. The walking paths circling the lake offer some gorgeous views, and those swinging benches scattered throughout are ideal spots to sit back and take in the peaceful surroundings - or catch your breath after chasing the kids around.

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Dog owners, rejoice! Your furry companions are welcome across the park (just keep them leashed, please). The sidewalks that wind alongside wooded areas provide enjoyable routes for both you and your pup to explore together.

You'll come across trash cans conveniently placed along the trails for easy cleanup, and there's plenty of open space for your dog to sniff and investigate while staying safely by your side.

Changing with the Seasons

Englewood Park shows a different face with each passing season. Spring brings fresh blooms, summer offers shady retreats, fall transforms the landscape with warm colors, and winter has its own quiet charm. Kansas City's climate really lets this park shine year-round.

Locals love this park for good reason - it provides essential green space in an urban setting. With its mix of sunny meadows and shaded areas, you can enjoy your visit in almost any weather. Just note that seating can be limited in some sections, so you might want to bring a blanket if you're planning to stay awhile.
