It’s open year-round to all ages, for skateboards, inline skates, scooters, and bikes. Nighttime lighting means fun in the evening hours as well!

The pump track is the largest asphalt track in the entire country!

The bike skills course had tunnels, ramps, and hills, and the kids had a blast!

The new playground was built in 2025. It is incredible and has so many fun things to do. 

"Imagine stepping into a world of adventure, where nature and play seamlessly intertwine. This 80,000-square-foot playground is designed to feel like your very own adventure, featuring a custom cave including towering stalagmites and stalactites that create a landscape of discovery.

Venture through four interconnected tower elements, each accessible by rope bridges, jute crossings, and sleek metal platforms that challenge and excite. Soar through the air on a seated zipline, spin to your heart’s content in whimsical spinner huts, or glide down embankment slides that hug the terrain and pop through the rock. Relax in the hammocks, sway on the swings, or unleash your inner musician with interactive outdoor instruments that invite creative play. This playground design prioritizes green space over hardscape, fostering a lush, immersive environment that feels both organic and adventurous. Most importantly, inclusivity is at its core, ensuring accessibility for all, regardless of age or ability. Whether you seek thrilling movement, social connection, or a quiet moment, this space welcomes everyone." (quoted from their website https://www.sccmo.org/741/Kinetic-Park).
