Ten miles from Kansas City, with a population of four thousand (and growing), Parkville is a picture perfect community with train whistles blowing on a regular basis, festivals throughout the year, and volunteers working endlessly to keep the flower gardens beautiful and the fire department and nature sanctuary staffed.

People have come to call Parkville "home" from as far away as New York and Honolulu. They say they love the sense of community. Parkville has its little claims to fame ... it is the home of Bill Grigsby "voice of the Chiefs" and sports an exclusive golf course designed by legend Tom Watson.
