MetroGreen® is a proposed 1,144-mile interconnected system of public and private open spaces, greenways and trails designed to link seven counties in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The plan covers Leavenworth, Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas and Cass, Clay, Jackson and Platte counties in Missouri.
MetroGreen continues a tradition of valuing green space in the Kansas City area by extending the "parkways and boulevards" concept of the 1894 Kessler Plan for Kansas City, Mo. MetroGreen extends and enhances this commitment by identifying more than 75 separate corridors to form a regional network of greenways that connects many of the areas most valuable natural assets. The project is one of the 10 Giant Steps identified as part of the Kansas City Sesquicentennial Celebration.
