There is plenty to do to keep them entertained.\u00a0 It is located in the northern part of Overland Park and slightly hidden. There isn&#8217;t an entrance to the park off of the main road. The park hours are from 5am to 10pm daily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Play Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The play equipment is in it&#8217;s own contained area which makes it great for watching multiple children. There is a 5ft. wall around part of the equipment which keeps little ones from escaping.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 Toddler swings<\/li>\n<li>2 Big Kids Swings<\/li>\n<li>7 slides &#8211; tube slide, twisted slide, short slides for the little ones, taller ones for the bigger kids<\/li>\n<li>Plenty of bridges and ladders and stairs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise Path<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The walking trail is approximately .4 miles around. It is great for little kids to bring their bikes or trikes to ride around. Just beware that there isn&#8217;t a guard rail so stay close. Also beware of goose droppings while walking, jogging or biking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Covered Shelters<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At least 2 of the shelters are covered.<\/li>\n<li>There are multiple other picnic tables in the park.<\/li>\n<li>Tables do not need to be reserved. They are on a first come, first serve basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Open Space and a Basketball Court<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are 2 half court basketball courts<\/li>\n<li>Plenty of open space to have a picnic with a lot of it being shaded by the large trees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Fishing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fishing can be a lot of fun at the park either off of the 2 docks or just sitting next to the pond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2 small parking lots one of which is close to the restrooms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insider Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay close to the kids on bikes because of the lack of guardrail<\/li>\n<li>BEWARE of the geese. There are signs not to feed them all around. Also beware of the goose droppings on the path:)<\/li>\n<li>Be prepared to either tell your kids no or bring some money for ice cream. During the summer, the ice cream man frequents the park.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview ngg-ajax-pagination-none\"\n\tid=\"ngg-gallery-e5e7a37e227b9a3ea55bee56aabeeeed-1\">\n\n
