South Loop Project

Let's Connect KC

Momentum on the South Loop Project continues as the project team announces a fourth public meeting to present the results of the Environmental Assessment. The South Loop Project is poised to create a world-class, 5.5-acre urban park, which will serve as a vibrant community hub and a catalyst for economic development. Join the project team at the open-house meeting to explore the project vision, environmental impact, and alignment with Kansas City’s community goals. 

Invitation to South Loop Project Public Meeting #4 set for Thursday, February 13, 2024.

Bridging the Divide

The South Loop Project is a sustainable urban park that will bring Kansas City together like never before, bridging Kansas City’s Central Business District and the Crossroads Arts District and linking adjacent communities.

Our Future Looks Bright

The community front yard for downtown, the South Loop will be a state-of-the-art destination park, designed as a full sensory experience for parkgoers of all ages, reshaping Kansas City.

Green With Envy

Taking inspiration from urban parks such as Dallas’ Klyde Warren Park, the South Loop creates a more sustainable Downtown with a commitment to prioritize pedestrians, cyclists, and multimodal transportation.
