K.C. neighborhood cultivates community self-determination
Manheim Park is a vibrant, diverse midtown neighborhood known for taking charge of its own destiny. The long, narrow neighborhood 4 miles south of downtown Kansas City stretches from Emmanuel Cleaver II Blvd and Brush Creek to the south to E. 39th Street between Troost Avenue and The Paseo. Active community members have built an active community garden where neighbors raise chickens and grow their own food, donating produce to local food pantries. "It's quite a little gem in the center of the neighborhood with 10 raised community beds and a few garden areas that people rent," Dan Krull says. Krull has lived in the area for eight years and is a member of the Manheim Park Community Garden Board.
Manheim Park neighborhood has its own community garden on Forest Ave between E 42nd & E 43rd St.

Residents work closely with police to curb crime
Manheim Park receives an overall CAP Index crime score of 5, compared to the U.S. average of 4. Violent crimes score a 7. "It's not totally crime-free, but it's much safer now than it was 6-8 years ago. And it keeps getting safer and safer, with good police representation and response time. It's not a war zone, but I wouldn't need to leave the lawn mower out when you go inside to get a glass of water," Krull says.
