Park Ordinances & Rules

Lee’s Summit’s oldest park is located at Blue Parkway and Jefferson Street. It is 19 acres in size and has one picnic shelter with tables, Summit Waves and Harris Park Community Center within walking distance, .35-mile trail and a large playground area. This park was donated to the city by several citizens in 1918, but it has been a park for as long as LS has been a city.

The municipal pool was built in 1971 and renovated into Summit Waves in 2008. Summit Waves has a lap pool, children's play area, two water slides, a 904-foot action river, a concession stand and a LSPR’s new wave pool.

Harris Park Community Center, formerly LS Recreation Center, was built in 1992 and renovated in 2008. HPCC has 6 volleyball courts, 3 basketball courts and 2 meeting rooms. HPCC is also home to Camp Summit in the summer months for 600 children.

Rent Shelter


Lee's Summit Park Shelters General Info

  • Shelter reservations can be made in person at the main office, 220 SE Green Street, or online at each Parks Shelter web page. A valid driver's license is required for in person rentals.
  • Your fee covers any number of hours reserved for the day of your rental but does not give exclusive use of playgrounds/amenities.
  • We place picnic tables in the shelters. Previous shelter users may move the tables around the park. Be sure to check your shelter before your reservation day to ensure the number of tables meet your needs.
  • Please note shelter/parking capacities listed. It is important for your event to stay within that maximum amount. If these maximums will not meet your event needs, we suggest calling Jackson County Parks and Recreation at 816-503-4800.
