South Loop Project
Let's Connect KC
A crowd of people attended the third in-person public meeting for the unveiling of the latest park design concept for the South Loop Project. Community engagement has been integral to the park design process and feedback previously collected at two public meetings, through surveys, and at over 20 neighborhood meetings and community events has helped identify a community-oriented vision, as well as priorities for potential features and amenities.

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 South Loop will be a state-of-the-art destination park, designed as a full sensory experience for parkgoers of all ages, reshaping Downtown Kansas City and parades it boldly into the future.
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.
