Brush Creek Walkways

Stroll the newly completed walkways!!
Our scenic riverwalk in Kansas City is nearing completion - only one connection remains to be constructed at Troost and it will be begin this fall.
Brush Creek has gone through a major transformation since the devastating flooding back in 1977.  Several new bridges have been built, the creek has been reshaped, and landscaping, walkways and fountains have created a beautiful greenway.
From Roanoke Road east to Elmwood, there is a near continuous trail along the creek.
See photos of the fountains along Brush Creek below.

Artists

Artists can register here to participate in this event.  Paintings will be painted entirely on-site, “en plein air” means “in the open air”, during the three day event.  Four zones have been designated along Brush Creek with prizes for the top paintings being awarded in each zone.
