Reviewed 2026-10-22. Leawood’s current project page explicitly reports the trail from College Boulevard to the 119th Street soccer fields reopened, with new asphalt in sections. This actual trail-status statement is used rather than the page’s conflicting project-year timeline. The larger 12-mile greenway and farther reaches are not certified clear by that statement. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
Use the named public start and its posted parking signs. The map reference identifies the facility or selected trail area; it is not a surveyed parking stall or navigable route line. Bicycle and e-bike rules can differ; only ordinary bicycle use is established unless noted.
