Lee’s Summit Illustrated • Spring 2022
“Every Age, Every Season,” it’s more than a motto for LSPR, it’s a directive. The summer of 2022 will be filled with programs, special events, and experiences for all ages and all interests. Are you into fitness? This year we are celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Tour de Lakes (TDL) and expecting a large turnout for this “must attend” annual bike ride. If cycling isn’t your thing you can run a 5K at our Night Flight event, participate in over 100 fitness classes at our community centers, or join us outside for group exercise experiences like sunrise and moonlight yoga.
Of course, we have Camp Summit, our popular summer day camp, but we also have a bicycling camp, a technology camp, and esports leagues and tournaments. If you are looking for water activities, Summit Waves is sure to provide relief from the summer heat. Did you know, we also have three splash pads located throughout our community? And, if you are feeling a little more adventurous you can rent a stand-up paddle board (SUP) or canoe at Legacy Lake.

Maybe you are into cultural arts or large gatherings. If so, Legacy Park Amphitheater has eleven events scheduled this season and five events are free. And speaking of free events, Legacy Blast will return this summer. The event will be bigger and better, so mark your calendar for July 1 to experience the festivities. Of course, this event could not happen without the partnership and generous financial support from the City of Lee’s Summit and the day of event support from the Lee’s Summit Police and Fire Departments.
This issue of the Illustrated has information on all of these activities and so much more. Take your time, explore from cover to cover and plan your summer. I look forward to seeing you and your family throughout this season.
Enjoy your parks,
