English Landing Park

English Landing Park is an urban park along the Missouri River in Parkville with walking trails, playgrounds, and sports facilities on the riverbank. The site includes a boat ramp for river access, multiple picnic shelters, disc golf, and a sand volleyball court.

The park was established in 1987 and transformed an undeveloped riverfront area into a recreation destination for Parkville. This development brought organized outdoor opportunities to a previously unused stretch of land.

The park serves as a gathering place where locals enjoy outdoor recreation, community events, and nature education programs throughout the year. Such spaces become central to how people experience their neighborhood.

The park is easily accessible on foot and has multiple entry points for visitors with different needs. Plan to visit during warmer months when trails and facilities see the most activity.

The park sits on a historic landing point and offers viewing areas for migrating geese and other wildlife along the river corridor. This location makes it a place where natural movements and human history intersect.
