    A section of the bridge that goes around the pond.

    Antioch Park is a large park that has a short wooded trail, but also a good amount of paved trails that wind through the park and around a nice pond. It has lots of picnic areas and green space to relax and enjoy meals. it has a whole entire kids town for the children to enjoy. It has a variety of play equipment in various areas. it also has a basketball basketball court in tennis court I believe. it is maintained well and I really like that all of the play areas have some shaded spots for parents to sit.

    There is seriously so much to love about Antioch Park! First of all, it's massive. So, if you're looking for a place to go on a long walk with your dog, or immerse yourself in nature, you've found an excellent option. Secondly, the playgrounds are top notch. I mention this because as a parent of a young child I'm often on the hunt for great places to take her to get the "wiggles" out. There are about three different playground options, all in the same area so kids can move around freely and explore. One is geared more towards smaller kids which is great, there's also one for bigger kids, and there's even an old west themed play area where kids can pretend to be cowboys. I love that they have this area for imaginative play and it's such a unique find that really sets this park apart from others in the area. The public restrooms could be a bit cleaner, but it is a public park, and in general I'm just happy when a park has an OK restroom to use. Just make sure you set your expectations right before you venture into them and you'll be just fine. Overall I feel like there is still a lot more to this park I have to explore, and we'll for sure be back!

    I have been going to this park since a little kid and now I am able to take my baby. This park is absolutely beautiful any season you go. This park has many things you can do I recommend also is toddler friendly

    I miss the days of taking my daughter here to play at the old west village. It looks like they updated a lot of the playground equipment. Yet this is still a good park I go get a short jog in or to go for a long dog walk. It looks like people still fish here and have picnics. The Kansas City area is lucky to have Antioch Park

    Found this park on Yelp, wanted to enjoyed a nice day out during the weekend and social distance due to the Covid-19. This place has a rose garden with a nice fountain to relax and enjoy. Love the small collections of roses here. The trail is easy to walk and handicap accessible too. There's north pond and a south pond. I went to both. The north pond is more quiet and peaceful. The south pond is more fun with the trails, fishes, and great scenery. Restrooms is near the offices and is clean. Good place to explore and enjoy your day out with your family.

    All around this area are main roads where traffic flies by to get from point A to B. However a quick turn off of Antioch will show this big park to be a nice, quiet, wooded refuge with trails, small lakes, and tons more. I remember this park from being a little kid. The stepping stones had chasms of space between them back then, and I felt like I was on vacation here despite being down the road from home. It has been many years but I finally popped back over here one beautiful Saturday and saw the appeal of the park as an adult. This spacious park spreads far and wide and would make a great gathering place for a BBQ, family reunion, or just on your own to steal away for a bit. There's some kind of kids zone too by the playground, but I didn't really go there. Other reviews could shed more light but looks like fun if you have little ones. I brought my pup and while not an off-leash zone, it made for a nice afternoon stroll. Check this place out!

    Fall this year has been really colorful but I've been coming to this park for about 3 years now and it has some amazing color changes! Highly recommend anyone checking this park out.

    November 2018 I was in town on business and had the morning to check out the area. I wanted to walk around a park and take in the cold air before a snow storm rolled in. Thanks Yelp for finding this park for me! The park was quiet (it was a Thursday morning, and it was cold!), and I walked around the huge lake while taking in the gorgeous fall foliage. Everything was so beautiful! There was a decent amount of parking and plenty of places to sit and have a picnic. Gorgeous place, and can't wait to go back!

    Looking for an afternoon walk with our dog and to geocache we decided to check out the Antioch park We were delightfully surprised. It was much prettier and longer trails than we expected. Johnson County put some serious effort into this park. The ponds are clean and so pretty with great places to sit and hang. There was a small wedding going on at Northwest end of the park, children playing at an insanely large kids area at the Northeast side, a military memorial at the north central side, and a beautiful pond at the south side. A lot of gazebos for meeting up and a large pavilion for major events. Highly recommend for gatherings, kids, walks, and anything else you can do in a park!

    Park is nice, offer a lot for the people at the area, good for family, group get together or even loner wanna be alone, is a great park. Sorry to say that it was not my cup of tea, not fit my need for walking purpose, but happy had chance came visit and took some pretty pictures though, so I still give a 4 star review.

I highly recommend for fun and for purchase for a backyard.

    When I was a kid growing up we had one of these play systems in our backyard and I remember the day…read moreit was installed all the way up until the day my parents had it removed when I was an adult. The one my parents installed in their backyard in the 90s lasted three kids and over 20 years with regular maintenance. When it came time for us to look into a swingset for our daughters as tempted as I was by the kidcraft DIY ones at Costco, we ended up going with Rainbow simply because the kidcraft wooden playhouse in our backyard has been up for maybe three years and LOOKS it. We were a bit worried about how something we DIY might hold up so we figured we'd pay a bit more and go this route. First of all these things are expensive. There is no way around that. The website always says things are heavily discounted, like it never changes cost and is always on sale, so I think it's just the way they try to get you to pull the trigger - like OH it's not actually 7grand, it's ONLY 2 grand. I'd prefer they just be a bit more transparent on that, but I appreciate that it could be more. Once we were sold on the unit we wanted we decided to make the trek out to Olathe to see it in person and make sure we knew what we were doing. It was April, and honestly we were wanting to move quickly so we could have one installed early in the summer season. There is conflicting information on when they are open online - in some places it says they have hours on Sundays and on others it says they are closed. We couldn't figure out what the case was so we went there and they were closed to the public. The door was open and we thought oh, maybe we could just speak with a sales person but nobody was around so we just went home and ordered the one we wanted online. Now, their website is a bit dated but it worked okay. It was a little scary placing an order this big in this way, but we had no other time to get out to Olathe in the near future and decided it was worth it. Again, IRL would have been better because I would have asked about small add ons like a pirate telescope and baby swing, neither of which you can just add on via their website. At any rate, we made the purchase and a rep from their team was in contact with me by Monday morning which really impressed me! She told me the timeframe we'd be looking at and what to expect next. As the timeframe of 3-5 week delivery creeped into the three week mark I emailed asking about next steps and didn't hear back for several days. The following week I emailed again, and again no response so I called. Calling prompted an email and we got it scheduled and ultimately installed pretty quickly at that point. The installer was SO NICE and so fast. It was insanely impressive how they get these things up quickly. The main thing here is that these are impressive, well made, playsets. The folks working here are very kind, and thoughtful. Sometimes things just move slower than you might want, or you might have to reach out to get questions answered. Would I recommend Rainbow? For sure! Could they turn this into a 5 star experience with a few small tweaks? Absolutely. If you're not me though, learn from me, and go on a Saturday, talk to the sales people and I'm sure you'll have a smoother experience.

So, one…read moreSaturday after dance class we made the trek (and it is a bit more of a trek from OP than I was expecting!) out to Wilder Bluff Park, and I have to say, this is a pretty great spot to bring the kids. I got the feeling that it's still a bit of a hidden gem, probably because it's in a bit of an out of the way location, because there weren't a ton of cars, and while there were plenty of kids playing, it didn't feel crowded like other parks do on a nice Saturday morning in June. This park boasts a ton of great amenities for kids, and our kids really enjoyed the tree houses that they could climb through, which entertained them for about an hour. There is also a really cool splash playground adjacent to it, which had we known about in advance we may have brought some swim gear so the girls could really enjoy it. The park itself I think is much bigger than just the playground area, as I saw some trails nearby that might would have been fun to explore had we been there longer, or with kids that were eager to walk rather than climb and run! I'll close by adding that this park is new-ish and super well maintained. We used the restrooms and they are really clean for a park. Overall, this park is a gem for the folks that live right around it. I'm sure we'll return on another nice weekend morning when we want a change of pace.

Other things offered are covered seating areas, picnic tables, and restrooms that surprisingly are clean! Speaking of clean, the people here make sure to do their part and keep things tidy. This involves the basic human acts of courtesy such as picking up and throwing away their trash and picking up the crap left from their pets. It was quite busy when I arrived as there was a kids birthday party, several people walking the trail, and a few couples having a nice picnic. On a Saturday when the sun is out and there's a nice cool breeze, I'd expect nothing less!
