Winnwood has faded, but its legacy lives
| Posted June 23rd, 2015 |

Northeast News
June 24, 2015

A mere three stops after boarding the Interurban car of the KCCC&SJ’s Excelsior Springs line at 20th Street and Burlington Avenue in the then newly chartered North Kansas City was Winnwood Beach — a new amusement park built along the side of a small lake in burgeoning Clay County.

For the record, the first two stops along the line were Avondale and Chouteau. Frank Winn was a noted Clay County developer who dreamed of luring busy Kansas Citians away from their homes on the weekends to his new amusement park. Following the pattern of Willard Winner and others, Winn developed what became known as The Atlantic City of the West. Just after the opening of the new Armour, Swift and Burlington [ASB] Bridge across the Missouri River in 1911, travel northward out of the city began to skyrocket to places such as Excelsior Springs, Tiffany Springs and various other destinations north.

Winnwood Beach opened in 1912, offering patrons a zoo, a roller-coaster, a water slide, launch rentals, a dance pavilion and Winn’s own Museum of Monstrosities — displaying oddities from around the world, much akin to P.T. Barnum.

The dance pavilion was a hotbed of jazz activity, drawing such greats from Kansas City as Bennie Moten and Charlie Parker — who played as long as Winnwood patrons could continue to dance. Sixteen KCCC&SJ (Interurban) trains left North Kansas City each day for Excelsior Springs and stopped at Winnwood along the way.

The park’s popularity ran much the same as that of the larger Electric Park near present day 47th Street and The Paseo. A series of fires in the 1920s destroyed the dance pavilion and the roller coaster, casting a pall over park attendance. As Kansas City grew, the novelty of a water park faded and much of the rides and attractions were shuttered except for the lakes, which were still a popular swimming destination for locals living in new subdivisions that sprang up near Avondale and North Kansas City.

By the time of Winn’s death in 1947, virtually all remnants of Winnwood had faded into history. With the development of the interstate highway system that fed Northland growth, the park’s fate was sealed. Interstate 35 bisected one of the smaller lakes and Chouteau Trafficway carved an arch along the western boundary of another. The remaining lake lasted as a venue until the late 70s when the giant metal slide was torn down. In 2001, the area was developed and is now home to the Chouteau Crossings Shopping Center. Only one of the three lakes remains, and is a popular fishing spot near I-35 and Chouteau Traficway. No evidence of the park exists today.

Honestly, whatever the consequences of pushing my highschool boyfriend out my 2nd fl bedroom window were going to be...

... was better than what my grandma, who was on her way up the stairs, was going to do to me if she caught him.

Armond Latimore posted on his Facebook page Saturday about how glad he was that he made it to see his 17th birthday; just over an hour later he would be dead from a gunshot wound to his head.

Latimore, of St. Louis, was shot about 1 p.m. Saturday — his birthday — in the 3100 block of North Grand Boulevard, police said. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Homicide detectives are investigating.

Police did not immediately release Latimore’s name, but he was identified by family members Sunday.

His mother, Chandra D. Payne, 38, said she had left her home and went to a nearby store to buy ice cream to go with a cake to celebrate her son’s birthday. She said he didn’t want anything elaborate.

“He told me that he wanted ice cream,” she said. “I went to Save A Lot and three minutes later I received the call.”

She was told he had been shot outside a chop suey restaurant called Bing Lau, where he had gone to pick up food.

Police had not released information about a suspect or motive.

His post to Facebook about an hour before the shooting celebrated making it to his birthday: “Thru all the (expletive) I den been thru I’m just glad I can say I made it to see 17.”

Payne said after her son’s shooting, she found a paper he wrote for school on his dresser. Latimore was a sophomore at Vashon High School, she said. He wrote about a bully who wouldn’t stop harassing him. But she said her son never discussed with her anything about a problem he was having with anyone. His father and siblings didn’t know of any problems, either, she said.

Rumors are going around now, Payne said, and some concerned people have pointed her to photos on his Facebook page where he is seen with a lot of cash and posing with a gun. But as she looks for answers, Payne says her son never owned a gun, and the money belonged to someone else. She said her son was a good kid, a helper.

“He was always a helping-hand child,” she said. “He would cut grass, wash your car or sell water. He loved music and loved money and always made it the right way.”

Harvey Collins, 60, of St. Louis, saw Latimore two hours before his death. The teen helped move Collins’ daughter into her dorm at Harris-Stowe State University. His son had picked Latimore up to help with the move and he appreciated the help.

“I can’t believe that a couple hours later he was dead,” Collins said. “That’s a crying shame.”
