    Columbus Park


    Kansas City’s “Little Italy” – so nicknamed for its predominantly Sicilian population’s influx throughout the late 1800s and 1900s. Once associated with local mafia names like Johnny Lazia, the area is evolving into an artist’s dream location. You know you’re in Columbus Park when you see the red, white and green fire hydrants, a tribute to its original settlers.
