New Park Ranger Office Location
KCRMA Park Rangers have relocated to a new office within the Equestrian Center complex! The new location is the past Ranch Hand residence at the top of the hill as you turn off Bridlegate Lane.
The building, which is approximately 100 years old, was converted into offices six months ago. It is two stories, including additional storage in a loft area and a main floor layout providing larger workstation areas for each (5) Rangers and the Open Space Director. Plus, this is the first time that the entire ranger staff will be housed under one roof in more than 12 years!
The partial wrap-around porch will be inviting during the summer months for residents to speak with staff on a variety of open space matters. The main entryway offers a nice fireplace area with two loveseat chairs, educational books and brochures, and a large trail map. Feel free to stop in and say hello to the rangers when you have a chance!
