Softball games and the Fastpitch Heartland World Series at Adair Park
When the sun is shining, students after school book it to the eastern side to one of the suburb’s busiest spots. “Adair Park is mainly softball fields, so there’s lots of tournaments there,” says Shaun Ashley, Realtor for Re/Max Heritage. Not just your average tournament, though: These 35 acres are the host of the Fastpitch Heartland World Series, one of the metro area’s biggest showdowns spanning a handful of age divisions vying for the title of best slugger around. Even if playing or watching ball isn’t your thing, Adair offers five pavilions and a half-mile walking trail, ideal for your next picnic or casual workout.

Noland Road boasts coffee shops, restaurants and national retailers
Need a pick-me-up? Swing by Noland Road and snag your caffeinated beverage of choice from Scooter’s. While it specializes in coffee like cold brews, candy bar lattes and Scooter Shooters – with an extra kick of espresso – it also has an extensive menu of teas, hot chocolate, lemonade and smoothies for kids, as well as food options ranging from maple waffle sandwiches to red velvet cake bites. “Scooter’s is a popular chain in Kansas City,” says Ryan Gritters, Realtor for Keller Williams Platinum Partners. “It’s definitely a big draw to people.” For a more filling meal, head just a few blocks south of Adair to El Gallo. Authentic Mexican cuisine such as chicken enchiladas abounds in this casual environment, though its a la carte items like asada fries and miscellaneous features like tilapia push just as many customers to return. If you’d rather stay in, get your grocery shopping done beforehand at Price Chopper along the northern edge or Hy-Vee in the southwestern corner. These chains bookend a vast strip of stores, including popular retail therapy stop Viva Fashion Mart, discount-based Big Lots and video game destination GameStop.
