Yeah I guess I was thinking of something a little further north, between Stadium Drive and Hildebrand. Maybe the city could one day revisit the original plans for 281 that called for a tunnel going under the park instead of cutting between it and the stadium. With the current interest in freeway parks (including plans for one over the Wornall-Rodgers Fwy in Dallas), it seems like it could be worth considering.
