This is one of my favorite places in Parkville to walk, run, take my dog for a walk, and just enjoy the outdoors. The Platte Landing Trail is now open after being repaired from the spring's floods. The leaves are changing and the river is flowing! Stop by one of the restaurants or shops in downtown after your exercise. Downtown Parkville is the main reason my family moved to Parkville from Brookside in 2005 and it never disappoints!
