What a beautiful start to 2018 in North Kansas City Parks. We had a fantastic turnout for our first-annual Bob Libbey Pickleball Tournament the weekend of April 13 despite the unusual weather.

Be sure to mark your calendar to join us next year, June 7-8, 2019. To keep up with event planning as it begins early next year, like us on Facebook @NKCArtsinthePark.
