Deer invade midtown park

Posted by CJ Janovy on Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 11:05 AM

Given their endangered future over at Shawnee Mission Park, it probably wasn't that surprising to see these four deer looking like refugees in Roanoke Park at dusk last night. They were hanging out just north of 37th and Wyoming.

But they still seemed out of place. They took a break from grazing on low-lying leaves and stopped to stare at the undoubtedly unfamiliar sound of a skateboard rolling down the sidewalk across the street.

Occasionally one would wander into the clearing.

Eventually they took off. Maybe they were headed over to d'Bronx for a pizza.

Come on over to Rosedale Park. We probably have close to a dozen in the park and along the ridge up Puckett Road.

I've seen them too. how often do people hit them? I hope they're not a hazard because I love catching a glimpse once in a while

Roanoke Park has had deer for years. They live up on the bluff behind Coleman Highlands.
