Heritage Park

I spent a weekend here for a baseball tournament. It's a neat, sprawling complex. The ball park sits in the back of the park, and you cross over a dam to enter the complex. There are four fields, and there are NO BLEACHERS! That is just crazy for teams traveling, there are no places to sit, except a couple picnic tables. There is hardly any shaded areas either. I will say aside from the bsaeball area, there are a lot of places to play, and the walking trail around the small lake is beautiful. Don't speed! We saw two cars get pulled over by some park police.

Great park for biking & walking! They have more remote paths if you are looking for more of a hike also.

Great trails, nice playground and good fishing. It's nice that the lake gets dredged so it stays fresh.

My favorite sister-in-law told me about this park. I think all of the parks I've been to in KCK are great, there's nothing like them back home, but this one is my favorite. I like that it's easy to find, has a nice path around the lake for exercise, a golf course, a lot of places to reserve for parties, sports fields, electric vehicle charging stations, and the off the leash dog park. The people who come here are friendly and for the most part clean up after themselves and their dogs.

(4th review of 2022)Wifey & I love this park! It's wide open & paved trails around the lake. People that frequent the park are nice. We laugh every time we go there when it's freezing cause we see all the rocks scattered on the top of the ice on the lake. I guess people try to toss rocks on the frozen lake to find out how big & how far they can toss the rock. Hahaha. I'm kinda tempted to try that the next time. They do have an area by the entrance of the parking lot where you can pile up real Christmas trees after the holidays. Not sure what they do with them afterwards, but it's cool that they have a drop off area. When we dropped off our 2.5' tree there was at least a 5' high & 15' wide pile. I was laughing cause our dinky lil tree was so manini (small) compared to the others that were about 6-8' tall. Aside from the trails & Christmas tree drop off, this is a perfect parking lot to learn to drive in snow... as I found out the hard way. Hehehe... nervous giggling. Never driven in snow before & it's waaay different that driving on rain soaked roads. Well, hope to get back to the beautiful park soon.A Hui Hou!!

Bring Luke here 4-5 x a week. Great space, not overcrowded, and only experienced one aggressive dog. Used to go to S.M. Park dog park when I lived over there, but last time I was there, it was insane! Way too many people/dogs, and several aggressive dogs that the owners were letting behave this way. So glad to have Heritage Park right down the street from me! Only downside is the pond. It is just stagnant water.

Great park. Quiet, breezy on a hot day. Walking/biking/running trails, kayak if you like, dog park for poochies.

This is a great place to run, walk, stroll, etc. it's easy to access and there is always plenty of parking. My running club meets here occasionally and there is a lengthy asphalt trail that leads in and out of the park. I've never had a bad experience here. always felt safe.

I love this dog park. It's huge and can accommodate every type of dog - those who chase balls, those who want to explore and hunt animals and those who enjoy the water. It's huge and can take 30 min or more to do a full lap if you take your time. The park was recently closed for two weeks to do updated to the pond (see photos). They tore down a lot of beautiful vegetation and did fix the major problem, the muddy entrance to the main portion of the pond most dogs use. The rocks they added are also pretty jagged and large - I fear it could cause damage to some pups and was not as positive of an improvement as visitors would have hoped. However, the biggest negative are the humans who come to this park. Many don't pay attention to their dogs and more than I can count fail to pick up after their dogs. In fact, on more than one occasion I've watched people observe their dog taking a dump and keep right on walking. I believe they think this is ok, and are too oblivious to pay attention the the dog bag holders or trash bins. Most likely they don't realize that it's there specifically for THEM to use (because it's really for someone else). I just don't understand, although this seems to be the running trend for dog parks in the greater south Kansas City area. Note to the humans: please pick up after your dogs wherever you are.

Great little lake for fishing and kayaking. Nice walking and biking trails. Decent softball complex. Great bird watching and wildflowers. Even a bat Habitat. Well cared for facility! What's not to love?!
