Sunnyside Park now sits on land that was once owned by Napoleon Boone, the great-grandson of Daniel Boone. After his and his wife’s deaths, this land was used to create the Sunnyside Riding Academy. The land was used for a few other purposes as well before becoming a park. The Park Department of Kansas City received the land for the park in 1949 and officially named the new city park “Sunnyside Park” in the year 1954. In 1949, eight more acres were added to the park. Sunnyside Park now features a sprayground for children, tennis courts, ball diamonds, and a playground.
