Trail English Landing Park & Platte Landing Park
Overview
English Landing Park and Platte Landing Park are arguably the most picturesque riverfront area in Greater Kansas City. The parks are adjacent to each other. An easy, crushed gravel path follows the Missouri River and loops the perimeter of both parks, which are adjacent to historic downtown Parkville. There is ample shade and there are play areas for children at English Landing. In addition, this trail connects with the 6-mile Missouri Riverfront Trail, allowing you to create a hike or bike trip of more than 15 miles.Extras Downtown Parkville, and nearby Park University, are charming and worth a visit. We are fans of Old Town Sweets & Antiques.
