Leavenworth Landing Park
The Leavenworth Landing Park, located on the Missouri River, revives
one of the major river landing sites where boats loaded and unloaded
travelers and freight. The design of the Leavenworth Landing Park
focuses on the role of Leavenworth as the "Gateway to the West", with
emphasis on the various modes of transportation that led to the growth
of Leavenworth as the major jumping off point for settlers heading
west. The park includes a walking trail, sculptures of a steam locomotive
and Conestoga wagon, plaza areas depicting a railroad round house
and steamship paddle wheel, river overlooks, landscaping and parking
areas. The Leavenworth Landing Park is designed to provide a beautiful,
relaxing place to view the Missouri River, enjoy a walk along its
banks, and provide a great place for family fun.
Open daily to the public. |
