Set inside one of Kansas City's signature parks near the Country Club Plaza, this fenced spray pad makes an easy add-on to a rose garden or pond stroll. Shaded picnic tables at the sprayground can be reserved for birthday parties in season.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Kansas City average 90°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
How long it's open. Roughly 15 weeks a year, from May to September. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
