Raymore Recreation Park — Attraction in Raymore

We were there to see our grand-daughter 's softball game. Their parking for handicapped individuals is the worst I have ever experienced. To begin with, they only had 3 handicapped spaces in their huge parking lot. That in itself is not ADA compliant To make matters worse you have to walk approximately the length of a football field to get to see any ballgame. This is also not ADA compliant. The MO law states "In parking lots or garages accessible parking spaces must be located on the shortest accessible route to the accessible entrance. An accessible route is the path a person with a disability takes to enter and move through a building or facility." Their parking is no where near the entrance to the facility. "Accessible parking spaces must be located on the shortest accessible route of travel to an accessible facility entrance.

Isn't this a city park? Paid for by the tax payers? If the sign would have read "No dirt bikes allowed. This is a game ready field." I'd understand. Riding a dirt bike on the field would destroy the integrity of the fields. But baseball practice? With baseballs & bats? And fun? Oh, the humanity! The main reason to build a baseball field is to teach, play & promote baseball. When we limit access we are doing more...

This is a really nice park for families. I have been taking my Grandson here, he loves this park. Very clean. Very well maintained. Has very nice restrooms. Very nice walking trails. There are ball fields, skate park for skate boarding. They have a small pond that if you teaching little ones to fish it is perfect. They have covered picnic area. Plenty of parking. Soccer fields. And I understand it will soon have a recreation center. Raymore has several wonderful parks, but my grandkids...
