My husband and I brought our six-year-old granddaughter and two year-old grandson to play. I did not see a newer place set based on the address we went to. It was an older ship designed playset. A small playset and it was quite busy so it was crowded. The place that is for age 2 to 5. The nice thing about it is that it was completely shaded, so that was a positive. But the place that itself was older and dirty and needed to be cleaned or repainted. There was a walking park around the playset, but I never saw a newer playset like pictured in the main photo for the park. There is also a small softball field and some covered picnic tables.

On top of multiple play areas, there is a splash park, over covers for picnics, a large walking trail with pavement, and exercise equipment. We used this space for a birthday party and it was the perfect size. While setting up, kids were able to play within watching distance on the park area. The equipment is updated and new. It also offers unique activities that you might not see at other parks. Lots of swinging options. Lots of parking as well. I love this park.

They have a play area for the littles and for the bigger kids, a walking trail for walking and bicycling, tennis courts, baseball field, open yard space for both soccer and football, benches and shelter area, and when it's hot out...a water park! I highly recommend this park to parents and guardians, I guarantee your kid will walk away happy after visiting.

Now my 17 month old can go up on her own and down a little kid slide, when in the past the other playground wasn't as safe for her. It also boasts some swings a big kid slide and more. What makes this place even better is that it also has restrooms. I think they are still renovating those, but they will presumably be open soon. In addition there is a tennis court, covered picnic area, and large grassy field that would be great for playing ball. All in all this a really good park for being on the smaller side and nestled into a neighborhood setting.

At the southern end of the park is the J.C. Nichol's Memorial Fountain. Folks were walking, running, and biking on the paved trail around and through the park. I didn't expect to find this beautiful fountain here, but it was a beautiful surprise. The walkways of the park put you less than a block away from Country Club Plaza, but I was well within walking distance of the Kemper Contemporary Museum of Art and Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

BUT this Yelp gps took us to what I thought was another park... and I was so confused. We parked and walked down the long, curvy sidewalk, and saw many kids playing. The playground looked different. More generic but still nice. And a cool cliff w big rocks that kids could play on-- a staircase running through. But I was still confused where the playground went that I saw in the pics... AND THEN... I asked a local there and they told me it's still the same park but a separate, cooler playground, about a 15 second drive/ 8-10 min walk down the brick road, on the other side of the park. Awesome!!! It's a big place! So we went back to the car, drove around the corner like he taught us (down the road from the community center and turn right, then you'll see it). Also the community center was open (winter kids camp was going), and let us all use the bathroom. Yay! We pulled up and saw the great looking climbing structure, big wide metal slides, zip line sitting rope, other slides. And many people out. We enjoyed sitting on the benches in the beautiful 60* sun, as my son had a blast and made quick friends! We stayed an hour, chatted w locals, appreciated the beautiful rock Cliff structures all around and beautiful old houses. We loved this park!! A gem in a city!!

Just a fantastic, peaceful gathering space and I'm so glad the city had the foresight to build this park and not just add more rows of houses. I have many fond memories of moseying down here with my daughter when she was a baby through about age 4 -- perfect playground for that age. Also my buddy Scout, my dog of nine years and I have been here with wind chills of -20, and on summer days in the 100's. There are so many friendly people and we sort of band together with our pups on the coldest days. We found community here with an organic, casual dog meet up group.. I still miss it, my new neighborhood doesn't have the same energy. You'll find it packed on snow days with sledders dominating the perfect sledding hill. Those first real warm spring days give way to people playing baseball, throwing frisbees and cooking out. My only knocks are that there needs to be better crosswalks around here. Cars really fly through this area, unfortunately, and the city could take some better precautions. Additionally there's no bathroom. Funny how when I lived a five minute walk from here I didn't mind, but now when we visit and there's nowhere to go, it's definitely more noticeable. Anywho, it's a true gem for this dense neighborhood.
