Area Lakes & Parks
The Lee's Summit area has, perhaps, as many fine park areas as any place in the country. Beautiful scenery, sporting events, every type of water sport and just plain relaxation can be found in many park locations throughout the area. Lee's Summit alone has nearly 300 acres of park within the city limits. Tennis courts, a swimming pool, athletic playing fields, handball and racquetball courts, basketball courts, picnic tables and playgrounds are also available to area residents.
Banner Park
Lee's Summit designated Bicentennial Park is located at Columbus and Noeleen Lane and Chipman Road and Park Drive.

It includes a picnic shelter and tables, two multi-use ball diamonds, four tennis courts, two multipurpose fields, two playground areas and a 5-acre native habitat area.
Dear Valley Park
This was Missouri's first neighborhood improvement district park that was the result of more than 900 home owners working together with the developer of the subdivision, the city and park board. George Ward, the developer, donated the property and the park was then built by the park board using a unique financing method. Located east of M-291 off Mulberry Street, this neighborhood park includes a large playground, 10-acre native habitat area, open field areas, a small parking area and a one-mile asphalt trail.

The facility includes parking for 160 cars, three multipurpose fields, one concession/restroom facility, two large playground areas and one picnic shelter area. The park was named after Miller J.

William B. Howard Station Park
This .5-acre park located in downtown Lee's Summit at Third and Main streets has a passive seating area. It was named for the founder of Lee's Summit. The old railroad depot at the park is the headquarters of the Lee's Summit Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Council. A retired railroad caboose has been placed at the site due to the efforts of the railroad enthusiast John Graham. The park has recently been renovated to include turn-of-the-century lighting, seating and a wrought iron fence. It is also the home of the Mayor's Christmas Tree.
Lowenstein Park
Donated in 1968 by the Lowenstein Brothers, it has since been developed into a 26-acre park with three picnic shelters, picnic tables, one basketball court, four open space areas, a playground area and parking for 40 cars. The park, located at Chipman Road and Lownestein Drive was developed through federal Community Development Block Grants at a cost of $25,060.
