This pleasant park is located beside a wooded creek area in a nice residential area…read more The park offers a nicely maintained, winding, 0.3 mile hiking/biking trail to the north of 141st St and an inaccessible wooded area to the south of 141st St. The trail is connected to Overland Park's extensive trail system. I enjoyed the nice walk through nature but the nature sounds competed with the traffic noise from nearby Antioch Road. BTW, the nice pool, tennis courts and parking lot are not part of the park, but are instead amenities offered to members of the local HOA. Overall, A-OK.

A great spot for me to walk around, stretch my legs and enjoy the oldest park in Lawrence, Kansas. Well-manicured grass, lots of old growth trees, paved pathways and a very pretty bandstand. Playgrounds, picnic areas and flower gardens abound. The wading pool was crowded today and I tried to take a picture without looking creepy. A very neat spot and I'd love to spend more time here but the highway calls. [Review 11429 overall, 1207 of 2019.]

Review is for the playground…read more Playground is average, especially for the area. The size was right however for my 3 yo granddaughter. She had fun on the climbing and playground equipment for about 20 minutes before getting bored with the lack of choices. Next to the playground is a sand volleyball pit, which she was able to play in for a few minutes and across the street is a field, which provided her with the most enjoyment running after birds and butterflies.

An asphalt walking/running track encircles the park. Near the Hampton Inn and adjacent to the High Blue Fitness & Wellness Center, it has ample parking in both lots and on the internal streets. People also commonly park on grassy shoulder along Mullen Road, which doesn't seem to be a problem and can get soccer parents close to their kid's field of play. Also, a wooden bike course with ramps and jumps is the only I know of in the area. Picnic pavilions and jungle gym playgrounds top it off. Could definitely spend a portion of the day here...all free. There are public bathrooms. It does get a little crowded during events but, with all of the options for various activities, there's usually some room to spread out somewhere on the grounds.

Within this park are modernized play equipment (read: rubber mulch, safer climbing areas, etc.), two sand volleyball pits, a walking trail that is about 1/3 mile per circuit, and a community garden. There are restroom facilities, there is gracious green space, and there is plenty of parking, so what's not to get all the stars? The hidden hook is the community garden. There is an amazing space divided into multiple plots with irrigation, protection from critters, and plenty of growing areas. Those who have gone through the process to obtain a plot are growing squash, tomatoes, herbs, cabbages, and more. Gardening is an attestation to the power of green space and our love for attending to all things earth. To do so as part of community-provided garden beds is even better as often times the output of community gardens are invested back into the neighborhoods at large. Electric Park is wonderful in any season and open year round. Make three laps around the paved circuit to book a mile or allow the littles to play on the updated equipment. Enjoy the space, the openness, and the amenities provided in southwest Lenexa.

There's literally a power station next to it. I know it's perfectly safe, but I swear I could hear the electricity just behind me. I had a sort of, Peter Parker, I'm going to turn into spiderman sort of vibe while I visited, so before anything nefarious could take hold, we high-tailed it out of there! There's more suitable places for toddlers to play than next to 1,000,000 volts of electricity. But maybe you like technology.
