Elmwood Park

Everything one would need. Ball diamonds, soccer fields, pool, 2 playgrounds.....one is for ages 2to5 and the other is 5to12. Plenty of areas to walk plus it's home to Safety Town

Very nice park to walk around. In this area (not necessarily all in Elmwood park), there are baseball diamonds and a playground. Safety town is located in the area. There is also the Independence rec center and the library. They have fireworks for Independence Day. Great community asset.

Awesome park! Clean. Big park area for 5-12yo; smaller park area for younger. Rock wall, zip line (mom approved!).
Picnic area with tables and grills.
You are able to have parties and you can call city of Independence to get a permit.
We had fun here.

Honestly its a great place to go to to either practice or play baseball/softball. There's also two parks: the newly renovated one next to the diamonds and the one right across the parking lot from the fire station and city hall. The pool is here too, right next to the pond. Its an awesome pool.
