Wilder Bluff Park

My cousin is on a mission to find the best parks in the KC metro and had this one her list. So, one Saturday after dance class we made the trek (and it is a bit more of a trek from OP than I was expecting!) out to Wilder Bluff Park, and I have to say, this is a pretty great spot to bring the kids. I got the feeling that it's still a bit of a hidden gem, probably because it's in a bit of an out of the way location, because there weren't a ton of cars, and while there were plenty of kids playing, it didn't feel crowded like other parks do on a nice Saturday morning in June. This park boasts a ton of great amenities for kids, and our kids really enjoyed the tree houses that they could climb through, which entertained them for about an hour. There is also a really cool splash playground adjacent to it, which had we known about in advance we may have brought some swim gear so the girls could really enjoy it. The park itself I think is much bigger than just the playground area, as I saw some trails nearby that might would have been fun to explore had we been there longer, or with kids that were eager to walk rather than climb and run! I'll close by adding that this park is new-ish and super well maintained. We used the restrooms and they are really clean for a park. Overall, this park is a gem for the folks that live right around it. I'm sure we'll return on another nice weekend morning when we want a change of pace.

Today I brought my granddaughters to this lovely park. We had our sack lunches under their large covered picnic area. Then my granddaughters played in the splash park which they thoroughly enjoyed! Afterwards, they tried out all the neat equipment and they especially liked the long rope bridge and sliding down the slide. The park also has a trail and is kept up well and a large parking lot. The bathrooms were clean and overall very nice park. The only thing is I wish there was a little bit more shaded seating for the parents to watch the children during the splash park play.

With 40 acres of beautiful park tucked conveniently in at 55th and Belmont, there's plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy. The park includes a 1.38 mile trail, covered patio with tables, splashpad, treetop canopy playground and clean on-site restrooms. The pavilion with a capacity of 64 is rentable for special occasions and includes a fireplace and buffet ledge with electrical outlets. From furry four legged friends to kiddos of any age, this park will provide hours of fun!

Love this park! We take my daughter often and always have a good time. Never too busy and I'm not sure many people know about it but always a good time!

Great community park with splash pad and treehouse features! Suitable for a wide range of ages. Also has a walking trail.
