A majority of the neighborhood does not provide sidewalks however; many of the smaller streets are dead ends which limits through traffic.

Various public parks surround the Coachlight Square area. To the west and northwest are Hubbs Park, Brush Creek Park, and Eastwood Park. About a mile to the southeast is Blue Ridge Park and a couple miles to the southwest are Swope Park and Swope Memorial Golf Course.

Kansas City dubs Swope Park as its crown jewel of the city’s park system. It is also the city’s largest park. The park is named for Thomas Hunton Swope, one of Kansas City’s largest land owners during the mid 1800s. Swope’s memorial where he is also buried is located at the park overlooking the park’s lagoon. The park also provides various amenities and activities including the Starlight Theatre, Kansas City Zoological Park, and the Kansas City Zoo. Residents enjoy the annual Party in the Park held in July at Swope Park which offers family-friendly activities for free or very little cost.
