Inspired Play Cafe always has nicer wooden Montessori type of toys and learning games. I have typically gone to the Merriam location as it is closer but they are just going to have this location remain open. The owner is very nice and welcoming and she is updating and always rotating items for it to remain fresh for clients. They also have new and cheaper monthly fee which is a great deal. It is a nice atmosphere but they do need to remember to keep the music playlist playing as it is nice to relax to. The only reason I gave this location a 4 was because when I first entered the play area it was a complete disaster. There were only 2 parents at the time but they never picked up after their kids and it was hard to find matching toy items as they were everywhere. This is not typical of the Merriam location so it's probably just an issue today. They might want to suggest to parents to pick up after their child once they leave a specific area. I ended up picking the place up because the parents left and then it was more obvious to my grandson and other kids that came what toys there were available in each area.

I feel like 1-3 is a good age range for the equipment they have, but it's also been a few years since I've been so I'm not sure if anything has been upgraded or changed.

I went on the website to fill out the waiver form for two days in a row and it didn't work. Finally it worked on the third day. I tried to call the number listed on the website a previous day and it just went to voicemail. So I was not having too high of hopes prior to coming. But since my husband works down the street, I decided to go by and see if I could have my grandson play for a while. I pulled up and it looked completely dark, and I went to try the door and it was locked. Then I noticed written on one of the doors was a notice stating that they had no air-conditioning and it was closed until further notice. So at this time, I can't recommend this business. I hope that they're able to get their air conditioning fixed and I will be able to try it out and change my rating. This area of Johnson county really does need a play place for children so I was really looking forward to trying it out.

This is a great neighborhood park. You could stop there but I'll add that especially if you have kids between the ages of 1-7 it'll be a hit. For my 15 month old this was a great park. The little houses to explore and toddler friendly climbing area was amazing. My almost 6 year old was getting close to being too big for the bigger park equipment but still had a blast with her friend. To top it all off they have a parking lot and a clean restroom. I'm sure we will be back!

Teach your kids to ride a bike for the first time doing circles around the tower! Fly kites or kick a soccer ball in the open field. There's plenty to keep you coming back over the years.

Plus, the historic Waldo water tower is located on the northern edge. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a well-known symbol for the neighborhood. We mainly utilize the playground. The kids love it! There are two primary structures, one being for small toddlers, and the other for bigger kids. I'm not thrilled with the fact that there is a large sand pit (man, kids love sand, but I do not unless it is on a beach.) Within the sand is a metal car that children can climb on. The baby swings are also there. There is a separate area for regular swings. In addition to the variety of equipment, there is seating available (bench, picnic table) and parking close by. There are also some trees that shade parts of the playground. On the weekends, especially in the nicer months, the picnic shelters are usually occupied. The playground also tends to get really crowded, and not as many parents are hanging out like on the weekdays. The majority of folks we have played with at the playground have been really mellow, open to talking/playing, and quite nice. This is not always the case at playgrounds, so it is a nice change of pace from snobbery. We've had a couple slightly negative experiences, but nothing that would keep us from going back.

Love how Brookside has so many parks and playgrounds! This park has to be particularly clutch for…read moreparents because it's seamlessly baked into the neighborhood and easily accessed by hundreds (thousands?) of homes. For us, it's a bike ride away, but again, Brookside for the win -- just hop on the Trolley Trail to 66th Terrace and then make your way east a few blocks for a safe ride. We hitched up the bike trailer and rode to nearby McClain's Bakery first for a great start to the day. We were bummed the junior pool is closed for the 2021 season. It would be such a great option to get out, and not quite sure why? The Loose Park splash pad appears to be open this year, but this feels neglected. The park itself is great; tennis courts, a little room for well-behaved dogs to fetch a few short throws, and a nice playground. The playground has big/little swings, slides, little rubber hills, and some climbing equipment. There are some miscellaneous tricycles and kids toys strewn about which is kinda nice, but some need replacement if I'm being honest. Oh one more important thing, at least in the morning: SHADE! I can't speak to summer afternoons, but seemingly every playground bakes around here. This one has a lot of trees so it's possibly a better option than others. This will be a fun part of our summer activity list for sure.
