River Bluff Park

River Bluff Park is quite literally tucked away on the far edge of the River Market. It is part of the Heritage Trail, a bike and pedestrian trail that I believe if followed to it's full length will eventually place you in Kansas. The Park itself is quite small and outside of a bit of sidewalk and a few benches, there is not much else to explore. What makes this park interesting are the views. From there you can see down into the West bottoms, Kansas City, Kansas perched on the hill to the west, a great view of the Missouri river right where the Kansas River empties into it, and if you turn around, a decent view of downtown Kansas City, Missouri. In the recent year or so a lot of work seems to have gone into this space and the surrounding hills/bluffs. A lot of foliage has been cut away and some art work added. I do like the space much more now that I don't have to questions who or what may be lurking in the thicket just a few feet away. As far as green spaces go, there is just not a lot of actual green space, mostly due to the fact that is park is VERY little. The views make it worth the walk though if you happen to be in the neighborhood.
