Honestly, this is exactly the kind of spot you need in your back pocket for a nice day. It's super…read morecute, but more importantly, it's functional. You aren't fighting for parking, and there are plenty of covered benches so you can actually sit and relax while the family plays. ​Between the walking loop and the playground, it's just a great option. I would totally come back here.

It's a nice warm day. We went for a walk at the trail here. Park has a large shelter for family…read morepicnic and a nice playground for kids to play on. Walking trail around open space. Plenty of parking in a lot. Man-made pond to reflect on and gives a peaceful vibes.

Aw, so great!! I love this little playground! When having lunch with my friend and her little kids,…read moreher 4 year old told me he wanted to go to castle park. He meant this. It's a great large park with a large castle like plastic playground so the kids can play princess and knight. There's another smaller playground for younger toddlers who are just mastering stepping up and sliding down. There are a few swings, a small rock climbing boulder that wouldn't do much damage if a kid fell off, and a picnic area, where my friend and I sat in the shade while the kids played. There was a camp there also, and all the kids were sitting and listening to a police K9 demo. Not far away there's a water park/swimming pool. Overall, this is a great place for kids to come and wear themselves out! I really like it and it's so adorable!

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.

Not too shabby of a park! We're on the hunt for the perfect park for my 2 under 2 and Summit Park…read morecomes really close. We love that there are a variety of slides for all ages and baby swings for the little ones. There are 2 large canopied bench areas where you can rest and enjoy some shade. The equipment is in good condition and there are 2 clean restrooms within just feet of the playground! Parking is also very easy and convenient. The only problem is that the playground is too close to a busy street and highway to be perfect. Some sort of fence or barrier of trees or something would make things a lot safer. We meet mom friends here and love it. Summit Park is an excellent choice for those with kids near Lee's Summit.

It has all of the above except for the toddler swings. Not an end-all for us because, honestly, my toddler mainly just collects rocks and sticks the whole time and has a blast doing so. This park feels very safe, which is the biggest pro! Definitely high on our list of parks.

There are mature trees also surrounding the playset, so most of it is in the shade. He enjoyed the slide and the various aspects of the playset, like the child sitting area underneath the playset. The parking is limited because it is actually the parking lot for the City Hall. Thankfully, I was able to find a spot and we walked around the front of the building where there is an attractive area of flowers and a child statue fountain.

Typically family's stop here for 30 mins or so while they are out on the walking trail. One nice thing is that it is not anywhere near the road, so you don't have to worry about your kids running out into traffic chasing a soccer ball or anything like that. Overall this is a middle of the road park. There are better playgrounds and parks within a mile or two, but if this is close to your house, or you pass by while in the trail, it will serve its purpose
