Located on the southern end of town on 80 acres, Recreation Park is the largest of Raymore’s four existing parks. It is also the most active park with approximately 80% of its space dedicated to active programmable use. The Raymore Skate Park is also found in Recreation Park, as is Recreation Park Pond, a baseball complex with concessions, the Optimist Shelter and nearby concession stand, and the East Shelter with new playground equipment.
Memorial Park
400 Park Lane
Memorial Park is located off Olive Street, behind Raymore Elementary School. The park area encompasses 20+ acres and has a pleasant mix of passive and active space. The park hosts several of Raymore’s special events and festivals.
Hawk Ridge Park
