The St. Joseph Parkway ties parks together through the city
St. Joseph's parkway system is a National Register-listed civic landscape that connects major parks and recreation areas across the city.
St. Joseph’s identity is not only river, rail, and museums. The city’s parkway system is its own piece of civic geography. Missouri State Parks’ National Register list includes the St. Joseph Park and Parkway System, running along several parkways and Noyes Boulevard from Krug Park to Hyde Park. The local visitors bureau describes the completed system as connecting principal parks and recreation facilities, with hiking and biking use.
For a newcomer, this helps explain why park names and parkway streets show up together on the map. It is a designed public landscape, not just a string of unrelated green spaces. Check city or park maps before using it for a ride, walk, or route between parks.
