A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK What a fantastic summer we have had with events, park improvements and ongoing maintenance to enhance the park system of North Kansas City! Baseball Diamond #2 received a facelift this summer, and now has a new 300-foot outfield fence, back stop and dugouts. These enhancements have allowed us to increase our baseball and softball services to the community. Trail repair was completed to the one-mile track at Macken Park, you will now experience a more comfortable walk or run. See page 8 for this fall’s upcoming events. We look forward to seeing you at one of our classes or events!
