SITE LOCATION: Pershing Rd. & Main St. STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, & OPPORTUNITIES

CLASSIFICATION: Park Memorial Hill is a highly active park. With its proximity to Union Station
COUNCIL DISTRICT: 4 and downtown Kansas City, it sees a healthy amount of visitors. The

Central
PARK DISTRICT: park provides a large loop trail and several places for visitors to sit and
take in the views of the area. Overall, the trail is in good condition, but
ESTABLISHED: 1920 has a few spots that may be more difficult for ADA compliance due to
ACREAGE: 46.96 acres weather erosion. The park also does not clearly state that it is a Kansas
City, MO park on its signage. Opportunities for improvement include:
• Enhancing ADA compatability throughout the park
PARK AMENITIES • Including an updated Kansas City, MO Parks and Recreation sign
to delineate the park from the surrounding area
