Little Blue Valley Park

I walk Harlow here just about every single morning before other park goers come. She's able to run, play, stretch her legs, kill a snake or a frog, hunt a bird, run through the water, fight with a crawfish. OMG it's a beautiful park. This is our daily routine.

NO RESTROOMS, NO PICNIC TABLES, VERY LIMITED SEATING & 1 SINGLE TRASHCAN.

It has potential. The landscaping/plants need some TLC. Very unique playground equipment; more suitable for older kids as there's a lot of rope climbing, and not a single standard slide. I hope to see more added in the future; more playground equipment, more seating benches or even picnic tables under a roof-covered area as there is absolutely ZERO shade to be found.

There are a couple of handicap inclusive options: the small merry-go-round is flush with the ground & had a seat (it's also the smoothest one I've ever seen) - also 1 plastic swing with an overhead, lap secured... uh I'm not sure what the term is for these, I'm sorry.

Also a very nice walking/bike trail.

No complaints really; I can see the potential & the effort that has gone into this location initially, I just hope the means & desire are available to see it through.

A diamond in the rough. Formerly a drag racing strip, it has been transformed into a lovely park. The drag strip was cut into trails that traverse through prairie, wetland, and forest habitats. You'll likely see some deer, frogs and rabbits. Bird watchers will see a lot here too. I have seen owls, gold finches and indigo buntings here. Great place to take the dogs on a walk.

Update. There's now a small playground and better parking lot. Looks like more improvements are coming soon.

Great walking trails. Dog and horse friendly

Best trail to walk, paved and peaceful

This is my go to place for a walk or run. Simple to navigate and a surprising amount of different foliage and man made things to see. The main big loop is a little over a 5k, so it's good for some training. Many people walk their dogs and bike here. There are a couple of soccer fields as well.

This is a little quiet area off of Noland Road. We do go out here often and walk the trails. I do also take my bicycle out here on the trails, which all seem safe? It's a nicer area the very marshy though.

Really a great tail for bike riding.! Or just a walk or to take your pets ! I do wish the parking lot was a bit bigger and had some repairs done !

I love walking the paths here. It's extremely calming, and seeing the occasional deer is always a fun surprise. Great for pets!

Really enjoy walking at this park. It has a outdoor restroom and covered eating areas. I would definitely recommend this spot.

I loved the paved walking trails there. It's a good place for walks, runs, bicycles, dogs, & time with the family!

Nice flat trail, not too crowded if you get put early enough. For the most part, the people you encounter are friendly.

Loved it but I wish parks would get rid of the disgusting, polluting tires in the river.

I have seen Mississippi Kite, a dozen Kestrels,Eastern Kingbird, and 7 Great Crested Flycatchers.

Awesome walking and riding trails. Great for the dogs also!

A little open in the sun, but its a nice easy bike ride.

At the old KCIR location. Cool little spot, except 9 times out of 10 if someone is there with their dog it's off the leash.

Wow this is a lot more expansive and lovely thank I expected. Great place for a long walk!

Now has a play ground. Awesome for bike rides.
