The trials are challenging with lots of trees and mushrooms, as well as a man made lake.They were well marked but not well worn with trail walkers, meaning some were overgrown. We went through three of the trails, and found them to be mildly interesting. Lots of spiders too. Two ponds located on the deer run trail caught my eye due to the different conditions, one was extremely clear, you could see to the bottom, while the other was like a big mud hole. One thing that stood out to me was that there was really no parking for just hiking, we ended up parking at a bathhouse.

I love the park and it has a great playground for kids. The reason I deducted two stars is because…read moreof people who go to the park. Earlier today I went to the bathroom and some guy in there was trying to sell me drugs. That is the biggest problem with independence and Missouri in general is the amount of drug dealers here and the police in the entire state are completely worthless. Other than that, I will say I like to park but the police need to come here more often. But that's more of an independence problem than the park. But that's Missouri for you. High crime, a lot of drug dealers and completely worthless police.

Pros: - Two well-designed, "Pioneer"-themed playgrounds with great equipment and rubber matting - Paved, wide-open walking paths - Plenty of picnic tables and grills - A great water park!! - baseball diamond - Lots of informative plaques about local history, with Braille - The entire park is wheelchair-accessible - Very well maintained Cons: Not really any to speak of, except that people shouldn't leave so much trash behind. But I make that complaint about every park. The park was clean enough that I didn't feel nervous about being barefoot after playing with my Little One in the water park. This park is gorgeous and has lots of amenities.

But parking can be done on the street near the curb of the park. It's a quiet park with a small playground with newer equipment. There is a variety of regular swings, and also the larger swings for several kids. There is a walking trail that appears to be a loop. It's a small park, but it's nice and peaceful.

There's no dedicated parking lot, but plenty of street parking. They have swings (2 baby ones, 2 normal ones, and two round tire type swings). The playground equipment is kind of advanced, but there are definitely things for younger littles. The ground is rubber material, so great for crawlers/ kiddos who are starting to walk! They also have a little creek and walking paths behind the park!

A great spot for me to walk around, stretch my legs and enjoy the oldest park in Lawrence, Kansas. Well-manicured grass, lots of old growth trees, paved pathways and a very pretty bandstand. Playgrounds, picnic areas and flower gardens abound. The wading pool was crowded today and I tried to take a picture without looking creepy. A very neat spot and I'd love to spend more time here but the highway calls. [Review 11429 overall, 1207 of 2019.]

My favorite parts of this park are the outdoor xylophones and musical wall with rubber mallets attached. The acoustics are very addictive. My 3-year-old granddaughter also loved the rope bridge, the swings, including a large round one, and the merry-go-round. We also got to play many games in the mock caves, which were complete with cave drawings.
