Grain Valley Parks and Recreation is thrilled to announce the much-anticipated ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newest addition to Armstrong Park (713 Main Street, Grain Valley, MO 64029), "Kiki's Playground." The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 20th, starting at 10 a.m.

"Kiki's Playground" is named in loving memory of Kiki Claphan, a beloved former parks employee whose passion for creating safe and enjoyable spaces for children left an indelible mark on the Grain Valley community. This vibrant and innovative playground stands as a testament to Kiki's dedication and enduring legacy.

“This project was funded in part from a grant award through the Federal Land, Water and Conservation Fund and is something both the Grain Valley Parks & Recreation Department and Park Board have been working towards and identifying funding for over the last several years,” said Shannon Davies, the Park and Recreation Director. “This is the first All-Inclusive playground in our park system.  We are excited to offer the community a play space for children of all abilities in one of our most heavily used parks.”
