| Car Free Weekends on Cliff Drive |
 Every Friday-Monday
Friday, 2:00pm gates close
Monday, 8:00am gates open
Kessler Park
Cliff Drive, one of only five scenic byways in the state, is closed to motorized vehicles every weekend all year round for residents to experience first hand.
The innovative Car Free Weekends pilot program initially took place on weekends from May to October in 2008. The program was initiated to provide safe opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle-oriented activities that promote healthy lifestyles for all to enjoy. Based on the success of the 2008 summer program, the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners approved the expansion of Car Free Weekends to year round in 2009.
Head over Northeast Kansas City to run, skip, bike, roll and just have some healthy fun on Cliff Drive. More information. |
