The Scout

Great view, but could be tended to better.You can see the Kansas City skyline, but the pedestal for the statue is riddled with graffiti. The statue is not labeled, but can be found at the end of a paved path that overlooks the city. It's not an overstatement to say that the park isn't tidy, but it's not the dirtiest I've seen.There is a parking lot for the Penn Valley Park Tennis Courts and Skate Park. I probably would avoid the area at night, probably safest in the early morning, when nobody is there.

Don't miss this when you're driving through Kansas City. This statue is one of the landmarks that makes KCs skyline notable. It's an easy walk to get to this iconic statue. A great place to see wonderful views of the city.

This is such a cool monument in Kansas City, but I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the park. There was trash and debris everywhere. It wouldn't deter me from going back, but probably only in the daylight.

Peaceful walk up to the scout statue, great view. Good for scooter/bicycle/walking views for all. Good area for a nice picnic
