Your move, Kansas City.
Kansas City Chess Park officially opens on the Rock Island Bridge, and you’re invited to make the first moves. The new chess area sits on the North Wing of the West Truss, right along the wooden bench. Bring a friend, challenge a stranger, or just watch a few games play out. It’s a new way to spend an afternoon above the Kansas River.
Here’s What to Expect:
- The official opening of Kansas City Chess Park
- A new chess area on the West Truss North Wing, along the wooden bench
- Games for every skill level, from first-timers to regulars
- An afternoon of chess with the Kansas River below and the skyline in view
