Park Planning and Design Services Division personnel work as a team to provide master plans or construction development plans and specifications for property under the control of the Board of Parks and Recreation commissioners. Typical work includes planning for parks, playgrounds, plazas, boulevards, lakes, trails and consultation services to other City departments.

The division also generates conceptual plans for the extension of the boulevard and parkway system and is responsible for the preservation, restoration and additions to the City's outdoor monuments and fountains.

"The system presented in 1893 may be considered properly in two divisions, boulevards and parks. These divisions, however, were inseparable. It was not contemplated that Kansas City should have boulevards without parks or parks without boulevards."
