Things To Do

Berkley Riverfront

Berkley Riverfront offers the unique opportunity to experience the river that defines our city. With picnic tables, scenic landscapes, a two mile trail and period lighting, the park offers a natural oasis just north of downtown Kansas City. The park also has parking, bike lockers and racks, and a nearby B-cycle rental station located at 3rd and Grand Blvd.

Sand Volleyball Courts

Berkley Riverfront features 6 illuminated sand volleyball courts, found at their new location near the Grand Avenue Viaduct (north of Union Apts.). Port KC partnered with KC Crew to build the courts to provide more recreational space near downtown Kansas City. KC Crew's league play has first use of the courts. When the courts are not reserved or in use by leagues, they are available to the public and for special events.

Public use is allowed from sunrise to sunset when there is no league play or reservations. Reservations are required for 20+ players.

ASB Bridge

o The BNSF’s ASB Bridge created a barrier to the bi-state Riverfront Heritage Trail system with segments of the trail on both sides of the bridge. BNIM and Taliaferro & Browne developed plans to skirt the bridge by building a flood-proof concrete bicycle/pedestrian trail under the bridge on the “wet-side” of the Missouri River levee.
o Funding for the estimated $2.2 million project came from $700,000 of MoDOT funds and the balance from Missouri Department of Economic Development Transportation Tax Credits that were purchased by Ameristar Casino.
o Kissick Construction completed the project ahead of schedule and under budget in January 2010.

Riverfront Heritage Trail

The Riverfront Heritage Trail is a 15 mile bicycle and pedestrian path the stretches throughout the urban core of Kansas City. Art installations along the trail highlight the unique history of each site.
