My daughter has been here since she was 1 month old. After taking her first steps, she walked the trail of roe park. So it's safe to say that this park not only gives you a fun time but there are great memories built here too. 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.

what a great use of space and way for the community to gather together to use the outdoors. I have…read moreonly been here a few times and am always amazed at the amount of people using it. 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.

I brought my granddaughters to this park in the early afternoon and they are both enjoying it. It's…read morepeaceful and the play equipment is for ages 5 to 12. They have a basketball court, sporting areas, but I believe you may need a permit from what the sign says. Picnic area, bathrooms, a historic house to be viewed from the outside.

You can bring your leashed pets to walk. People that have dogs that poop usually tend to pick up after them. Very courteous... thank you! Families come here to play on the playground set. There's also a lil area that has a small garden. A Hui Hou!

The climbing structure is for older kids, I would say ages 5+ and then there are some swings, and some other play features for smaller kids a few feet away. They do have a splash pad and nice bathrooms. They also have covered picnic tables and a walking area. It's a nice city focused park.

I love how most of these parks have something for everyone whether a toddler, tween, or adult it's hard to say you're bored when you're surrounded by the beauty of nature and the architectural builds. The trees are huge and form a natural canopy over the playground and splash pad area. Currently reminiscing about how beautiful this park is and might have to take a stroll through it this weekend because there are so many great parks in the area it's easy to frequent those you live nearby. Thompson park is in the heart of Overland Park that I don't want to describe as a "hidden gem", because iykyk; but if not come find out what the hype is all about!

Had to update an old review from during Covid times; this used to be my neighborhood park and…read moreman-oh-man is it everything a park should be. 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.

I specifically love the vision of the city planners to build in wide parks and green spaces in between the roads, providing an aesthetic that the planners in Olathe, Overland Park, Gladstone, etc. could all benefit from. This park has a big splash area in the summer, a playground, baseball fields, and loads of paths for walking and running. Lately, I haven't been visiting the park per se, but enjoying the new protected bike lanes along Gillham! They have a two way cycling track added in 2020 that is EXCEPTIONALLY RARE for KC. KC has, quite frankly, been way behind on bike-friendly roadways, but this is a nice step. You can safely fly through the area by bike and still feel like you're enjoying this park. Aside from the positives of this park, you're also near so many things like the Nelson, The Plaza, and loads of beautiful homes and architecture.
