Harrison Street DIY Skate Park — Attraction in Kansas City

We recently made a trip to Kansas. My son is a 12 year old skater. We always try to stop at new skateparks when we are in different cities.

This is by far the most interesting and neat thing I have encountered as far as skateparks go. What a cool project that a bunch of skaters came together and made. A little rough around the edges, like any good skater 😉

Kudos to the fellas who put it together. And thank you to the skaters, who skated the street so the kids could play on...

At one point this park was great for the children to work off some energy !It was clean , safe & a great place for them to practice but when I arrived here the other day , I was saddened at how it looked , there were clothes next to a tree just rotting there ; toilet paper & trash every where, homeless people lurking around !I'll just say I would not allow my child to go there with or without supervision & those Children really took pride in that park in the past it's...

When somebody asked the city for money to build a park, the city said do it yourself.... So thats what they did. This is a real live Do It Yourself skatepark. Over all park is clean. Has a great group of people that come together to donate their time and money to do something good for the community... Well and to skate too!! Come out and enjoy! If your looking to donate, help, or just want more information, look up "Harrison Street DIY"...
