LOOSE PARK

  • Key features + Notes: Definitely one of the most popular places in KC as well as one of the most iconic! Loose Park, and the famous Rose Garden are gorgeous year round! Roses typically are in bloom May-June, but it can change based on the weather. Early spring there are usually blooming trees and white flowers. Fall can be just as beautiful as spring and summer! Though I haven’t seen it with snow, I’m sure it’s beautiful then too! Due to this locations popularity, not only will there be other photographers there photographing other couples, families, even bridal parties — there will also be a lot of park visitors.

    ** As of July 2020, Loose Park now requires a $25 permit in order to have photos professionally taken there

  • Parking: The park has a few parking lots of its own (off Wornall is the main one, others are off W 52nd St.) but during busy times of the year when the colors are in peak or the roses are blooming, it can be extremely packed here and parking can become limited. When that happens, nearby neighborhoods offer a little bit of street parking, or Summit St (on west side of park) has some street parking options also.

  • Restrooms: One set of male and female restrooms is located near the rose garden.
