BRUSH CREEK WALKWAYS
Stroll the newly completed walkways!!
Our scenic riverwalk in Kansas City is nearing completion - only one connection remains to be constructed at Troost and it will be begin this fall.
Brush Creek has gone through a major transformation since the devastating flooding back in 1977. Several new bridges have been built, the creek has been reshaped, and landscaping, walkways and fountains have created a beautiful greenway.
From Roanoke Road east to Elmwood, there is a near continuous trail along the creek.
Photos can be seen along the Brush Creek streamway at our PHOTO GALLERY page.
