A truly rare opportunity—offered for the first time as a standalone, buildable and replatted lot—is this cherished neighborhood wiffle ball field, newly lot-split from the property at 239 W 52nd Street. Situated directly across from Loose Park and its beloved Duck Pond, this special parcel offers more than just land—it offers memories, tradition, and a sense of place. This is a fully buildable homesite, perfect for those envisioning a custom residence in one of Kansas City’s most desirable locations. But its history tells a deeper story. Lovingly maintained by its current owner, this private ball field has long been a magnet for joyful childhood moments and community connection. On any given summer evening, neighborhood boys and girls could be seen riding their bikes over to join a spontaneous game—no signups, no uniforms, no screens—just laughter, dusty bases, and the timeless joy of wiffle ball. For years, the field has quietly served not just local families but also charitable causes, hosting community events and fundraisers with heart and purpose. While its value as a buildable lot is clear, its emotional legacy is unmatched. This is a slice of Americana, tucked into the heart of Kansas City—a place where kids still knock on the door and ask, “Can we play?” Whether you choose to preserve the spirit of the field or build your dream home, this offering is an invitation to be part of something deeply meaningful. Purchase it separately or in conjunction with the adjacent residence. Opportunities like this don’t come around often—and they almost never come with this much soul.
