Kessler Park is a 300-acre (120 ha) park in the Historic Northeast area of Kansas City, Missouri. It is the city's second-largest park after Swope Park, and an early cornerstone of its parks and boulevard system. The park's design mostly preserved its original dramatic natural topography, including steep limestone bluffs overlooking the East Bottoms and the Missouri River. The park's history reflects the Gilded Age ambition of its creators and the influence of the national City Beautiful movement. The parks and boulevard system shows the city's aspiration beyond a commercial hub, to become a beautiful and livable city. Kessler Park is a significant embodiment of George E. Kessler's philosophy within City Beautiful, and is a centerpiece of the launch of the new parks and boulevard system that transformed Kansas City.
