    This is a great place to go for a walk and look at great scenery near the water. Also, there is a wall of locks that you can contribute your personal lock. This is a great spot for exercise or just taking in the scenery.

    Great view of the river. Good spot for pictures! Very pretty at sunset or sunrise. There can be alot of homeless people in this area and under the bridge.

    Excellent views of the river, historic, and if your a rail fan trains pass under the bridge. People put locks on the fences as a token of thier relationships. Interesting. There are stairs or an elevator to take you to dinner level where there is a walking path.

    Worth a visit when you are in Kansas City. The view was fine but the location is in quite a dinghy place - not very well maintained underneath the observation deck. It was quite cute how people have added Love 🔐 just like the Pont des Arts in Paris, France. The walkway itself and the observation deck was pretty clean - just that the area underneath the deck and that entire section of the street looks dubious.

    I try to ride my bicycle to the river whenever I'm nearby. Such a great view of the muddy Mo river, love locks and POI boards to read. If you're lucky, the KCPL coal train will pass under your feet.

    Great place to walk/ride while the sun is up. After dark lots of dark spots on trail need light. That being said. Clean fun trail with awesome view of bridges and river

    Great little walk out to a nice view of the river and a few bridges. It is a really short walk from the river market and marks one end of the river front trail. I highly recommend walking, jogging or biking that trail.

    A neat little place, though needs some refurbishing and cleaning. It does provide a nice river view and access that's otherwise very difficult.

    I was recently visiting Kansas City and geocaching brought me here. I thought it was a nice place to walk out and see the river and some trains. My family enjoyed learning a little bit about the flood history of the area. If you visit people put locks at the end of the bridge. Nothing fancy here, but a nice place to see and visit. Never would have known about it if it weren't for geocaching!

    Love to watch trains there

    Cool spot to look over the River and get some peace and quiet right out side of the city

  • 4/5 Corey 1 year ago on Google
    Great views of the river and bridges as this is the beginning of the the walking trail to the riverfront.

    Nice place to gather thoughts and watch sunset

    It used to have locks lining the barrier between you and the water below to show love between couples but they took them down due to issues with weight of locks putting stress on structure. So, kind of a bummer not to see it but still a great view of the river and Broadway bridge.

👍👍 Great park with awesome views to the east west and north. The lookout over the river, KCK and the west bottoms is one of the best in town.
