LAKES AND PARKS One advantage Kansas City has that makes it especially enjoyable during the spring and summer months is its proximity to lakes and water activities. There are literally dozens of lakes – large and small – around the metropolitan area for you to enjoy fun-filled days on the water. From a leisurely afternoon sail, to an adrenaline-fueled jet-ski ride, to a day spent fishing, the many lakes surrounding the Kansas City area give you the freedom to enjoy some time away without having to go far away. If being on the water isn’t exactly your idea of a good time or you just prefer staying on solid ground for your outdoor activities, you’ll find welcoming, wideopen spaces to enjoy at hundreds of Kansas City parks.
With plenty of shelters and playground equipment, our area parks provide ideal gathering places for casual playdates and family picnics. The sprawling acreage and well-maintained trails and paths provide the perfect environment for hiking, biking and jogging enthusiasts.
GOLF COURSES Kansas Citians are passionate about their golf and it’s easy to understand why. Regardless of skill level or budget, Kansas City is a putter’s paradise with options ranging from public courses to private clubs that have hosted pro golf tournaments.
