About the Venue

McCoy Park in Independence is one of the clearer all-abilities park options in the region because the city directly lists an inclusive playground area among the park amenities. The park also includes a splash pad, shade structures, restrooms, picnic tables, parking, tennis courts, trails, and a Variety KC baseball field, making it especially useful for families trying to meet different needs in one stop. Official photos show the playground area fenced and themed, which can be especially helpful for caregivers supervising multiple children.
