After three years of work, the new Karnes Playground in Roanoke Park had its grand opening on April 30th – providing the community with a new state-of-the-art playground!
“With ropes everywhere, tall mounds covered in artificial turf and even a zip-line, the nature-themed playground takes Roanoke Park to a new level,” according to an article on kshb.com. The article went on to quote KC Parks and Recreation senior landscape architect Erica Flad, “It’s really unique. A lot of people love going there. It’s definitely new in Kansas City.”
The goal was to make the playground fit in well with the natural surroundings and in the process, the Karnes Playground offers many elements of play that are not just fun, but challenging as well.
