Pleasant Lea Park Renovation

Pleasant Lea Park Renovation

Lee's Summit Parks & Recreation (LSPR) is pleased to announce that Pleasant Lea Park has reopened following a makeover. Located in south Lee's Summit, this 16.4-acre park features a 0.8-mile path with a pedestrian bridge.

The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) awarded LSPR a $250,000 grant for the Pleasant Lea Park upgrades. It is the department's largest single grant award.

Multi-sport courts, an adventure treehouse playground, three slides, a tot swing, webclimber, palmetto swing, kidforce spinner, an o'tannenbaum, a bridge, turtle rocker, ball field improvements, and a new pavilion are included in the improvements.

Joe Snook, LSPR Administrator stated, “Pleasant Lea Park is one of our older neighborhood parks and was in need of improvements. Through a multi-stage community input process, we were able to design and deliver a park that has far exceeded the expectations of our neighbors.”

We recommend visiting Pleasant Lea Park when you are in the area!
