About 50 helpers came out to clean up the park April 13

Trout LiliesAbout 40 neighbors and voluteers joined ten trailbuilders in spiffing up Roanoke Park on Saturday, April 13, 2013. Enthusiasm was flagging as the morning wore on but it was all smiles at the lunch provided by Whole Foods' Miles Krivena and chef Ryan. Many commented that is was the best lasagna they'd every had! The work mainly concentrated in the Southwest corner of the park:

  • MANY piles of brush were dragged to the curb
  • MANY bags of trash and bottles were removed from the park's woods
  • Brett led the trailbuilders in extending Roanoke Park's growing urban trail system
  • Nancy led seeding efforts for native grasses and wildflowers (NE entrance, and NE of the tennis courts etc.)

THANK YOU to all who attended.

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 after its recent construction closure, but with limited access. Please click their link above and call for the latest info. Here are KCMO Parks Dept. COVID-19 Updates and 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.)
