“Just Off the Trail”
Liberty Park
Just a few blocks off the Katy Trail in Sedalia, you can find one of the best kept parks in all of the state. Liberty Park, just off of Third Street and Hwy. 65, is a scenic park that offers something for everybody.
If flowers are your interest, be sure to take a look at Liberty Park’s gorgeous rose garden. The flowers are kept up all season and are positioned on a cement path for easy viewing.
Once you are finished smelling the roses, head over to the other side of the park and try your hand at catching some fish in the Liberty Park Pond. They have a heart-shaped pond built with an island and an arched bridge connecting it to the mainland. Weddings are often held here on warm summer evenings.
For the kids, the park offers the Liberty Land Flyer train that runs on an one-eighth mile track next to the large baseball stadium. The park houses two baseball stadiums, a large outdoor pool and Convention Hall, which hosts basketball and volleyball as well as private gatherings.
Liberty Park is a picture perfect view of how parks were being built at the turn of the last century, with a perfect blend of recreational activity and grounds for pure relaxation. The park truly is one of the greatest in the state and should not be missed when traveling through Sedalia.
