Harris Park Midtown Sports & Activities Center

Visiting for 2nd Annual Taste of Kansas City. Great event, may need a larger venue soon...

Park owner Christopher Harris may try to punch you or kick your puppy. I was walking by trying my ADA service animal and she walked less than 3 yards onto the park. Owner Harris drove up to the putt putt course in 2 ton pick up truck to kick me off. I had poopy bags for the puppy and tried to explain and apologize that I got distracted playing PokemonGo and dealing with rambunctious 5lb puppy, but he seemed like he wanted punch me and or kick my puppy's teeth in. I immediately left to public street safety while he was asking for my "papers" or medical records and my license number. Very weird as Mr. Harris is my neighbor and I've seen him teach kids golf for years without any signs of abuse but admittedly I was just out of earshot. Maybe he was having a bad day or under substances but it is an amazing park but do look up the website for the owners picture to avoid any confrontation. Otherwise a great spot in a violent neighborhood. Edit: Also the golf courses are well maintained as well as the rest of the courses as well as the track, court, play set and excercise area. I would recommend reaching out to Niantic, operators of PokémonGo, as they work with land owners to post warnings and prevent incidents of safety. As of this writing the park is a hotspot with 3 locations of interest in one of the most popular franchises in the world with still the most popular fitness tracker/mobile game/park geo-locator apps in the planet. Might also want to update your GoogleMaps that service animals are NOT allowed. It would help prevent future incidents. Thank you for your r3sponse.

The park was clean but they can definitely add more for smaller children, swings, teeter totter, all they really have is a few slides and things to climb on. And a freshly paved basketball court
