Fairway Homes Playground

If you’re local to this part of Lee’s Summit, you probably already know this spot. The soccer field gets decent use on weekends, and the open grass is just big enough to actually do something with — kick a ball around, let the dog loose, whatever. Pack a cooler because the BBQ area and picnic tables make it easy to stretch an afternoon into an actual event. Parking is right there, the neighborhood is quiet, and it doesn’t feel like a pit stop — more like somewhere people actually hang out.
