The One Park In Kansas City That Transforms Into An Autumn Wonderland
Kansas City’s fall colors might not kick in until November, but we’re still excited for cooler days to nip our noses and steamy drinks to warm our hands. There’s plenty of places in and around the city to find your favorite fall colors, but this one park near the Country Club District is our very own autumn wonderland. Of course, all we have to do is wait patiently for the leaves to change! Let’s see what could be in store for the coming season.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
Jacob L. Loose park consists of 75 acres filled with history and nature.
In 1931, the Kansas City Rose Society was formed, adding just 120 plants to the site. Today there are thousands of plants of over 150 varieties, some of which bloom in the fall.
Be careful if you plan to propose to that special someone here; if you drop that sparkly engagement ring, it does (unfortunately) fit through the gaps!
Rows of trees fade from green to red, orange, and yellow and make for a stunning fall walk through the grounds.
