About 50 volunteers came together to improve Roanoke Park November 10th:

  • Seeding - Three areas were seeded with native grasses and wildflowers. See planting the future.
  • Trailbuilding - A big section of the lower trail above Roanoke Boulevard was completed, all the way from the community center to point above the volleyball court by about 25 trailbuilders. See facebook.com/groups/roanokeparktrails/.
  • Brush Removal - Many piles of cut shrub honeysuckle were moved to the curb for parks department pickup.
  • LUNCH - All attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch courtesy of Whole Foods and chefs Miles, Dianne and Ryan: Turkey chili, vegetarian chili, cornbread and dessert!

For photos of the day see the Information > Photo Galleries > Event Photos section.

COVID INFO

Enjoy the park, and stay safe. While Kansas City's mask mandate has been lifted, our area's vaccination rate and the emergence of new variants calls for maintaining caution to reduce transmission. Please enjoy the park responsibly by spreading out. The Westport-Roanoke Community Center is open again with normal hours after its recent construction closure. Please click their link above and call for the latest info. Here are the latest KCMO COVID-19 updates from the city. To avoid damaging trails, check Trail Status before biking or hiking off road. ("Rozarks" = Roanoke Park's 2.5 miles plus Rosedale's 3.5 miles.)
