Beautiful park with lots of open spaces, trees, walking paths, play area for children, tennis courts and the rose garden. My favorite place in the city to go and unwind.

The best feature of park is the Rose Garden. The park also features some history placards describing the Civil war, a large pond with many walking and jogging paths. A wonderful place to have a picnic, fly a kite, take a walk and just enjoy the day.

This is a beautiful park and a must for all visitors. It has a beautiful rose garden, elegant lake with ducks and it's filled with locals, jogging, picknicking, dog walking, etc. It's a very short walk from the Country Club Plaza.

This is a very pretty park. It is right by the zoo so very convenient to visit both together and have a picnic before touring the zoo. This is a big city park so be aware of your surroundings.

Such a beautiful park nestled amongst a historic area of KC. Must see the breathtaking rose garden. Also go to the small lake and feed the ducks. Great walking trail and tennis courts. No wonder such a popular place for weddings and special occasion photos

The first thing we noticed when nearing the park was all of the gorgeous mansions in the area. The roses were in bloom and they were beautiful. The park is spacious and well kept with a duck pond, plenty of picnic tables and a play area for children. People in the park were friendly as well, including an invitation to... More

My husband and I go there often during the summer after Sunday dinner to just walk and talk. I've even been there for a wedding which was nice and private for a floral wedding.

I was married at Loose Park on a bridge under the weeping willow trees. Most people that get married in Loose Park do so in the beautiful rose garden but I had always wanted to be married on a bridge (don't ask me why) and so that is what we did. This is a beautiful park.

Many KC parks are in the center of the city and this is one of them. You will love it. The rose garden is here and much more.

We have come to geocache, to ride bikes and to play on the playground. Parks in a safe neighborhood are hard to come by in Kansas City and while this is a public park and can attract all sorts, it feels safe here. It is in an excellent neighborhood. The park itself is well maintained, large and beautiful. The playground... More
