All enjoy a sense of community both on their block and throughout the city. “I can go out one evening and I’ll guarantee you I’ll run into somebody I know,” says Paul Michael Galbrecht, who lives in Midtown.

Picnics at Hyde Park
Hyde Park is a sprawling 7.5 acres of green space wrapped around the area’s homes. Designed as a private park for the historically wealthy residents of the Hyde Park neighborhood, today the park welcomes any and all community members to enjoy its passive picnic areas and recreational amenities. The western stretch of parkland hosts pickleball courts and a butterfly garden, though most of the park consists of sloping, grassy hills to take the dog out or read in the shade of a towering oak.
Dining for a cause on Armour Boulevard
Locals can start weekend mornings with a walk to socially conscious cafes along Armour Boulevard. Mother Earth Coffee is a hip community space serving breakfast sandwiches and fair-trade, sustainably sourced coffee. Neighbors can grab lunch or sign up to volunteer at Thelma’s Kitchen down the street, the first pay what you can cafe in Kansas City. The full restaurant is expected to re-open in summer 2024 following construction updates to the building, though box lunches and catering are available in the meantime. “A lot of the restaurants that are here that I absolutely love are local,” Galbrecht says. “They live in the city, they want the city to keep improving.”
