Fleming Park, Independence

This is a great place to go to unwind and relax. I've come out here since the sixties to fish, picnic and hike. I really appreciate the fine parks we have here in Jackson County. And just a word; Let's all show our appreciation by always picking up after ouselves and not leaving a speck of trash behind.

It's hard to write a review about a public space, There's enough security to keep it safe. They have 2 lakes, a fishing area for disabilities, a dock you can feed fish from and several park areas and shelters with swings and slides. There is the 1800 town, great wildlife, and boats and shelters you can rent and a nice beach swim area. They have fireworks at least once a year and a RC field for your flying toys. I am not one who agrees with many types of land or animal management, but it's what they do, so enjoy the sun and other amenities.
