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 as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

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.
