But it is a good park for sure.

Unfortunately the city of Prairie Village decided to do improvements and the new playground equipment isn't friendly to smaller children. The toddler playground you see in the pictures is no longer there and other than the sandbox or climbing on the nature area with logs, there really isn't a lot for toddlers to do. It's a great park for older kids, but it's unfortunate that the only park within walking distance for us is no longer friendly to small children.

If your area is lucky enough to have facilities like Okun, then consider yourself fortunate. Youth…read moresports are growing across the country and having climate-controlled facilities for nearly year-round competition gives a community a significant advantage. Okun Fieldhouse is found in northwest JoCo and houses enough space for eight concurrent volleyball matches/basketball games. There are electronic scoreboards for each area and plenty of viewing space for families & spectators. There is even a small concessions area should you just need to have a little something extra during some of these youth activities. Entry is generally free as the youth sports have been paid for, but if there is a competition going on, then there may be an admittance fee. There is a ton of parking, even if there is a softball tournament going on just to the south. And if you find yourself with extra time between matches, then you can walk the northern vestiges of the Gary Hallier Trail, which runs from the Kansas River all the way down to Olathe. Great setting and great facilities, always with a purpose and enthusiastic family fun.

First, before you go, you sign up and pay for a two hour time slot on their website. This helps keep it from overcrowding. 1 adult is free with each kid. You'll also have to sign a waiver online once you pay. (we watched a family come in who didn't know this, and the person working was extremely kind and helped walk them through how to do it; she also let them stay for the next session, which seemed very accommodating.) Bring your own socks for the kids AND adults, or buy a pair there (they were very cute, honestly!) Because it is a new location, the toys, puzzles, climbing structure, etc were all in great condition and offered so many options for each age group. There is also an infant area that is separated from the main play area but still allows you to see everything. It's not a huge space, but there was plenty of room for our group of 5 kids and 3 adults plus a few other families , with a variety of places to sit or to eat a snack or get a drink from their reasonably priced snack bar. It is peanut free.

With the road upgrades they also added a ton of space and smartly added a wonderful new play area and shelter/grill to the already frequently used basketball and sand volleyball courts. The new park has a exercise trail that goes around the perimeter so you could exercise while your kids climb all over the new playground area. There is a sand pit to dig in, lots of tree stumps to walk on and play follow the leader, a cool slide that sits right on a slope, a small rock climbing wall and toddler swings. This play area was obviously designed for kids 10 and under. I think older kids would be bored on the play stuff but would probably want use the courts anyway. There are only 2 swings and they are for kids under the age of 4. The shelter has a grill and so I'm sure it can be reserved. This is a great addition to what was wasted road space. This is not a big park, but is a nice stop on my way to the grocery for the kids to play on a warm day. It's been busy every time I've driven by if the temp is above 50!

Whether you're looking for a…read moreskate park that is safe and accessible, walking paths, play equipment for the littles, or open courts for sports, Two Trails has it. Open space is not exactly at a premium in JoCo, but organized, shared recreational areas are always a privilege. Two Trails has a great walking path encircling the park plus restroom facilities open in the warmer months. For the active, there are two tennis courts and SIX pickleball courts open on a first-come, first-served (ha!) basis. There are other spaces, both public and private, for pickleball in JoCo, but for outdoor play where you can almost always get on the court immediately, Two Trails is a winner. Safe space for littles with play equipment and soft landings plus seating for the grown-ups to watch over the playtime. Throw in shared facilities for the school district, such as ball fields, and Two Trails is one of Olathe's best spots to get outside.

The Mission Hills Playground it located behind the…read moreMission Hills City Hall (accessible from Mission Drive, between Tomahawk and 63rd Street) sits secluded, surrounded by verdant trees that shield it from the road. The playground equipment is suitable for children of various ages, including a rock climbing wall, monkey bars, slides, a fireman's pole and other such features. For my preschool children, the monkey bars are too high to reach, but they are able to enjoy themselves with all of the other attractions. The especially love to climb on the twisted green curve structure, the likes of which I have never seen on another playground, and to go down the steep slides. The park feels very safe due to both its isolation and the regular comings and goings of police officers into the City Hall building and parked in the lot. (Anyone who has ever driven up and down 63rd Street in this neighborhood knows well that the Mission Hills police officers like to catch speeding motorists by hiding on Mission Drive and other such small residential roads) There are three benches surrounding the playground. Usually one or two of the is in the shade at any given hour. Although it is impossible to see the entire playground from any one of the benches, the area is such that one can sit and watch his or her children playing fairly well from these seats. There is also a picnic table located off of the parking lot, near the outbuilding. Perhaps the best feature of this park is the public restrooms located in a small outbuilding off of the parking lot. As those with potty trained young children know, the need for a child to relieve himself often comes suddenly and most urgently, so it is delightful to have a clean facility on site. It is one spacious stall (with plantation shutters on the inside window, no less--swanky!), and it is clean. It remains open during daytime hours. Rumors suggest that a brick walkway to it from the playground may be added in the future.
