Capital Projects

The 49.5 acre undeveloped site off of Ranson Road approximately 1 mile south of U.S. Highway 50 will be the new home of Bailey Farm Park.  The property, generously donated by Sylvia Bailey in the early 1990's, will be developed to include a visitors center and events space, a show barn, greenhouse, walking trails, farm themed playscape, festival grounds, u-pick display areas, native and demonstration gardens, and interpretive areas.  

This state of the art $29.5 million facility located at Missouri 291 Highway and US Highway 50 in the Oldham Village development will include 10 basketball courts, 14 volleyball courts, pickleball courts, meeting rooms, and Parks and Recreation administrative offices.  The project is scheduled to break ground in early September 2026 and be completed in the Winter of 2027-2028

Approximately 1.2 miles of trail will be constructed along Mouse Creek in southern Lee's Summit.  The project is partially funded through a grant from MDNR and the Recreation Trails Program.  The project is scheduled for completion by Spring 2027 and will connect the new neighborhood park, Red Hawk Park to Pryor Road.  The approximate cost of the project is $1.1 million.

In August 2016, Lee’s Summit voters approved a continuation of the ¼-cent sales tax for parks capital projects through 2033.  A 30 acre tract was donated to LSPR with the annexation of Unity Village properties in 2015.  In January 2026, a master park development plan was approved by the Lees' Summit Parks and Recreation Board with destination types of uses due to the unique nature of the property
