Built by Patrick Mahomes' foundation with KC Parks and opened in August 2021, this playground was designed so children with physical, sensory, and developmental disabilities can play alongside everyone else. Standouts include accessible swings, a wheelchair spinner, a concrete hill slide, and a bench-style seesaw.
Accessibility
Accessible. Recorded as wheelchair accessible — step-free routes to the equipment.
What's on site
Mapped here. OpenStreetMap records drinking water, shade shelter, benches, parking at this playground. No public toilets are mapped — worth knowing before a long visit.
When to go
Comfortable weather in Kansas City runs roughly March to October. Midsummer highs average 90°F, hot enough that dark equipment and rubber surfacing sting by mid-afternoon. Winter lows average 22°F, so the cold months are short-visit territory.
