Kansas City’s fall colors might not kick in until November, but we’re still excited for cooler days to nip our noses and steamy drinks to warm our hands. There’s plenty of places in and around the city to find your favorite fall colors, but this one park near the Country Club District is our very own autumn wonderland. Of course, all we have to do is wait patiently for the leaves to change! Let’s see what could be in store for the coming season.
