The park's main feature is the well-maintained, 9' wide, Indian Creek biking, jogging, walking trail, which meanders through the forested area, and is connected to Overland Park's extensive trail system. The park is located in a residential area, so there is very little traffic noise, but plenty of bird calls of different varieties, and often the sounds of a babbling brook. I also noticed a couple of nice bridges over Indian Creek, and a park bench along the dog-friendly trail. There is no dedicated parking, so I parked near a trail head on 125th St. Very nice!

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.

Like most Mill…read moreCreek streamway parks, this one has top quality jungle gym facilities, a shelter or multiple somewhere, and a restroom full service! The bike path is a continuation through all streamway parks, so you can spend all day on that - which I would remark is a beautiful way to spend an afternoon on a bicycle. The wonderful paving of this path must have cost a fortune! There is ample flat area to do family activities, and reasonable access to the streamway or any number of fishing activities can be underway. I'm really liking this entire streamway Park system throughout the city. Each of these parks is not particularly noteworthy, just a good small Park to enjoy an afternoon. More succinctly however, when considered as a whole unit, I would say this might be the biggest park in the city! Rates are reasonable for renting shelters, and this park particularly - tucked down nicely inside of a valley of sorts - blocks the wind, with an almost estate sort of feel. Very nice indeed!

Parking is found on the street in the neighborhood parallel to the entrance that seems almost hidden. But of the park, this one is charming to say the least. It's got a wonderful little gazebo, there's so much unique things to do at this park that I rate it in the top three. It has a bridge complete with waterfall, it's a stone's throw from Amesbury lake which is great for bass fishing and bluegill when it's not entangled by a blue-green algae bloom. And it's perfectly adjacent to one of the best biking pathways and walking pathways in the entirety of Johnson county. It's always well kempt, and they're always seems to be a wonderful cadre of children to entertain your own little scamps. They just redid the floor of the play area with wood chips, which I'm not entirely in love with. It's a little rough, but someone somewhere must have signed off on it that knew more about building playgrounds than I. Whomever built this playground knew what they were doing because it's wonderfully designed. Many a day I've walked a considerable distance with my kid to this playground, and it's always so peaceful. Though in the winter months, this heavily shaded playground in the wood can be chilly. Summer however, the shade is a welcome attraction. You almost have to climb down into this playground because it's nestled deeply into wooded areas. But, top three I'd say. Play on.
