Honestly, Steve's comment was very irresponsible and I hope he thinks before he says stuff like that to a new player in our community. In fact, we rarely if ever have issues with any of our parks. Due to Disc Golf, in some of our more urban parks, crime has been greatly reduced. I hope his comments don't turn you away from any one of the fantastic parks we have in KC.
If anything you will need to stock up on Poison Ivy cream and bug spray during the summer.
And maybe ignore everything Don Glover has to say...
