Nathan Musteen, Director of Raymore Parks and Recreation, shares the transformative journey of developing award-winning, universally accessible parks and facilities that have put this Missouri city on the national recreation map. From his nature-filled childhood in the Ozarks to spearheading innovative park designs, Nathan reveals how his "why not us?" philosophy has created recreation spaces that serve all residents while attracting visitors from across the region.
• Growing up on a farm in the Ozarks influenced Nathan's passion for outdoor recreation and eventual career path
• T.B. Hanna Station transformed the original downtown area with Missouri's first inclusive playground and sprayground
• Hawk Ridge Park features the Hawks Nest Inclusive Playground, designed with the philosophy "all ages, all abilities"
• The Raymore Activity Center (RAC) and Centerview provide indoor recreation spaces for sports programs and events
• Recreation Park remains the "crown jewel" of the parks system, hosting numerous sports programs including the rapidly growing flag football league
• The annual Rugged Raymore mud run has become a beloved community event where everybody's smiling
• Future plans include a dog park and The Ranch, a 154-acre property that will offer unique recreation opportunities
Join us at our upcoming Rugged Raymore mud run, the Friday before school starts! It's our last big summer event before fall programs begin. For more information about all our parks and recreation opportunities, visit raymore.com/parks
