Lawrence Riverfront Park MB Trail
Park
👍👍 Great trail to biking. Smooth dirt and a straight shot along the levee to return to the start. It’s long too. Highly recommend!

Mutt Run Off-Leash Dog Park
Park
👍👍 Great place to bring your off leash dogs. There are lots of different trails to spread out on and there is access to the river for the dogs to swim. The entrance has water available for dogs to drink and a small agility course. The trails have some trashcans spread throughout for waste.

Centennial Skate Park
Skateboard park
👍 I actually don't skate but I play a lot of disc golf which runs right by the park. It's always got a steady flow of skaters, roller bladers, and BMX'ers. It seems to be a really neat park and the city has updated it twice in the last 8 years.

Riverfront Park
Park
👍 Nice area, clean. The fish were jumping. The water level was high. I thought...the most I'd seen it at that level. In all, it was a nice experience, nice being outside, and being around the water. They have restrooms, but I didn't use it, or check it out.

Centennial Park Disc Golf Course
Disc golf course
😠 5 tents have been in place since prior to 4/1/22. There is more trash than trees. This is outside of the designated camping zone but the city does nothing. They let a Toyota with 3 wheels sit in the front parking space by the playground for 8 months. There is often a tent at the playground. Campers...
