Saturday, June 9 was a truly special day in Briarcliff! More than 50 families came together for a Community Build to construct a large new piece of playground equipment at Briarcliff Elementary. Briarcliff residents Jason and Katie Egli wanted to create a memorial for their son, Benjamin who passed away last summer. In partnership with the Briarcliff PTA and Briarcliff Trails of Our Community, this project developed that will touch the lives of so many kids and students of the Briarcliff community. Volunteers worked hard for almost five hours constructing the equipment, and spreading mulch around the new and existing part of the playground. Thank you so much to everyone who donated their time and energy to this heartwarming project. There will be a dedication ceremony this fall once the memorial plaque is in place to honor Benjamin. On the north entrance of Phase 1, the storm drain tube was recently replaced to allow for better drainage through the creek. The entire area around the tube now looks great! Thank you to the KCMO Parks Department for a job well done!
Spring has officially arrived, which means it's time for the return of our Saturday Night Outdoor Movies! Briarcliff Trails of Our Community is proud to once again present these free outdoor for the whole family to enjoy! Movies are shown on Saturday nights during the summer at approx. 8:45 p.m./dusk at Mulberry Lake across from The Village at Briarcliff.

Last summer's lineup was a variety of movies including action-adventure like Rogue One: Star Wars, throwback classics like Top Gun and family favorites like Moana. Most of the movies we choose to show are under two hours. We do this so everyone feels comfortable sitting outside, and not out too late.
