Lincoln Ridge Park — Attraction in Independence

This is a quiet park with plenty of room and activity areas, and the wooded trails are awesome - bridges, gravel sections, dirt sections, you name it. This would be a 5-star review if the maps were accurate but I've got to knock it down a couple stars because the maps show trails that don't exist! If you come here planning to walk the big loop around the park, take note: the website's pdf map and the signpost maps show a trail looping around the park but the south and eastern parts of that big loop aren't actually trails.

Wonderful little park to have a get together with friends or just have a place for the kids to play. There were shade areas, but there was also plenty of sunny areas to hang out and play games.

There's no splash pad for the hot days, but shy of that it's a great gathering spot.

Disc golf course continues to be fun years later and still one I come back to...
