Knoches Park is a community on Kansas City’s Eastside where locals look out for one another and provide vital resources such as food banks, daycares, and tutoring centers. "Knoches Park is centrally located"—just 6 miles from Downtown Kansas City—and "it’s easy to get on to the highway," says Sherri Oaks, a real estate agent with ReeceNichols Real Estate. With many homes built in the mid-1900s, residents are updating and renovating their properties. Offering access to community parks with splash pads, recreation centers and proximity to some of KC's most visited cultural districts, Knoches Park is a convenient place to be.

Handmade sculptures at Cypress Park
Located adjacent to Seven Oaks Estates, the expansive 11-acre Seven Oaks Park has long been a cherished outdoor retreat for locals, offering amenities such as basketball courts, tennis courts, and baseball fields. During the summer, the park buzzes with activity as children play on the playground and cool off at the spray park. Cypress Park is situated north of the neighborhood, boasting unique cone-shaped stone art installations. Crafted by sculptor Dale Eldred, these structures are an interactive focal point. The nearby 18-acre Linwood Green also provides a trail enveloping a rain garden. For indoor recreational activities, the Linwood YMCA on Linwood Boulevard offers an array of group workout classes, personal training sessions, youth sports programs, and computer access at the Teen Tech Center, available to students regardless of YMCA membership status. Yvonne Starks Wilson Park, located just a mile away, serves as a communal gathering space for the Dunbar community, hosting various events and activities.
