About the Venue

Bartlett Park is one of the strongest inclusive outdoor play options in northwest Missouri. Official local tourism materials describe an inclusive playground, an inclusive treehouse, a play path, picnic and shelter areas, and accessible restroom facilities, all set within a larger park and trail system. For families planning a longer outing, it works best as a destination-style park stop rather than a tiny neighborhood playground.
