PARKS! Check out these KC parks for new ideas on how to #StayActive and new places to have a picnic!

Shawnee Mission State Park offers mountain bike trails, hiking trails, disc golf kayaking, and more ! Meadowbrook Park in Prairie Village is a great place to hike, play pickleball, or walk your dog! Their paved trails would be a great place to do your #RooRec5k Loose Park is close to campus and one of our top spots for jogging, dog walking, and picnicking! With a rose garden, pond, lots of gorgeous trees, and paved sidewalks, this is an ideal place to get outside and get active.

With the rest of Kansas City, we turned our stadium lights on for #RooBlueKC to honor the 2020 graduates. Campus closure also means we had a chance to finish our new turf! Friendly reminder that Durwood Stadium and our field are still closed.
