About the South Loop Project

The South Loop Project is a sustainable urban park over I-670 linking adjacent communities and a collaborative effort led by City of Kansas City, Port KC, and the Downtown Council. As a state-of-the-art destination park and public green space it may include features such as accessible play spaces, public entertainment forums, and multimodal transportation options. This phase of the project includes formulating ideas for park programming, advancing the park concept through preliminary design, and conducting environmental analysis in line with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Latest park design concept revealed at third public meeting

After months of collecting community feedback and technical work, the South Loop Project team unveiled the latest park design concept at the third public meeting on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, at The Gallery adjacent to the project study area.

Community engagement has been integral to the park design process and feedback previously collected at two public meetings, through surveys, and over 20 neighborhood meetings and community events has helped identify a community-oriented vision, as well as priorities for potential features and amenities.
