Loose Park is the third largest park in Kansas City, at 75-acres. The calm, pleasant landscape was a golf course at the turn of the 20th century.
Weeping willows tend to thrive near water, and Loose Park is no exception.
Roses soften the somewhat formal geometric path around the Laura Conyers Smith Fountain. Their location ensures that they get at least six hours of sun a day, which is good for most breeds of roses.
Rolling hills look natural but there was a bit of intentional landscaping involved.
In 1977 artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrapped the Walk Ways with 12,500 m2 of orange-yellow coloured shiny nylon fabric.
