| Welcome to English Landing Park... Just in time for the Carnival.. |
| The map of the Three Mile Biking/Hiking Trail.. You can choose one mile, two miles or the entire three miles... |
| First you cross White Alloe Creek, here trickling in from the Park University grounds, after leaving the Nature Sanctuary, North of the University... |
| On the other side of the entrance road, White Alloe Creek flows on to join Rush Creek and then on to the Missouri River... |
| In this photo a few years back, one of the old picnic shelters showing some age... |
| In 2005 two of these shelters were replaced by newer and better ones... |
| And it looks like some folks from 'The Home' are having an outing at this one... |
| On into the park under the towering cottonwood trees, some about 100 feet tall... |
| Approaching the Waddell A Frame bridge which carries the trail over Rush Creek... |
| On the bridge looking North, Rush Creek flowing South to the River... |
| On the other side of the Bridge where the creek enters the Missouri River... |
| Pato Donaldo getting a run at the little hill up to the bridge... |
| The Round-About in the park, the boat ramp leading off to the left... |
| No bench here when I first saw this spot... One was waiting when I returned to Parkville in 2000... Here a View to the West.. Kansas just across the river... |
| Looking East and South toward Kansas City from Smith's Point... |
| Taking the bike around-about the round-about... |
| Now who could this handsome dude be? |
| And another pose with Smith's Point in the background... |
| The Gazebo in the park for whatever you need a Gazebo for... |
| I have seen mini-concerts, weddings, church meetings and plain old family picnics in this useful structure.. But they have now painted it white.... And I don't like it... |
| The touring Viet Nam Memorial replica stopped in the Park for a few days... |
| A lot of events start or end up in the park... |
| Now heading on down the riverfront trail... |
| Only in the worst weather will there be no walkers/joggers/bikers in the park... |
| On nice mornings, a lot of people are on the trail.. Traffic was sparse though, on the day I took these pictures... |
| A river tug pushing a couple of empty barges up to the dredge for a refill... |
| Now reaching the spot where Rush Creek flows into the Missouri River... |
| This is the Marker for the turn-around for the Two Mile walk... |
| Now back past the One Mile turn-around marker... |
| Here, the new bandstand and stage built a few years back... |
|
This at the River Jam Fest.. one of the many 'Fests' held in the park every year... AND! That just gave me an idea for a River Festival Page!!! Look out again... |
