English Landing Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

English Landing Park is located along the Missouri river in Parkville, Missouri, United States. It includes a 2 mile jogging/biking trail that follows the river's edge, several shelters for picnics, a soccer field, a baseball diamond, volleyball courts, 2 playgrounds (one for small kids and one for bigger kids). There is also a busy set of train tracks that runs along the length of the park. Before being converted as a park, the land was used as a city dump.

In May 2007, the Missouri River flooded the entire park with feet of water. The river receded approximately a week later.
