    Look at all this play space
    Ethel R.

    An amazing park for toddler age children. 2 misters , rockers and completly fensed in. The only thing missing are some swings. But the love it. Did I mention they have shaded benches and tables.

    Sweet new park and green space that the area and neighborhood really needed. As I write this, it's still putting off those new construction vibes, and isn't fully finished, but it's certainly getting there. What I love about it is that they could've plopped in strip malls or continued with exclusive country club vibes, but instead they turned the land back into a recreational space for everyone. It's all very man-made, and not like being in the woods like the nature trails of Swope Park or Shawnee Mission Park. You've got paved path trails winding around the perimeter, a man-made sledding hill, bridges, a few different playground areas, living spaces, and restaurants (The Market, Verbena). We've been staying near it this week and took our kiddo to the big playground which is closest to the 91st & Nall side. Bring the Tylenol for this one, folks. It's crazy busy, kids flying around, screaming, highs and lows.. It's an event. I'd go earlier to have easier access there. There's another playground area up by the restaurants, and it's fun and more calm. There's sandboxes, chimes, and things to climb on. Overall, it's a neat idea and one that I'm so happy to see Johnson County pull off. My wife said it's a bit like a JoCo version of Loose Park, and I think that's pretty spot on. Get outside and enjoy it!

    A great place to walk, with multiple paved trails, my favorite being the one-mile loop around all 3 segments of the large pond. There are also bikes to use with the Drop app. Perhaps best of all, there's a nice public restroom facility near the trails. If you're hungry after walking, try the Verbena Restaurant or The Market, a café and gift shop inside the attached Meadowbrook Inn. The café menu offers delicious daily soups, a variety of sandwiches and other items, lots of sweet treats, and wine! Eat inside or on their patio, same as at the more upscale/pricey Verbena Restaurant with bar. The Market gift shop has unique cookbooks and other items that would make any foodie happy, and more NOT run-of-the-mill gifts, including luxury personal care items. I could easily shop here for almost anyone on my list, and you don't have to be eating there or staying at the Inn. The park has other walking trails, play areas for children (and/or young-at-heart adults) that Include an outdoor drum and xylophone! There are also lighted picnic shelters.

    What an incredible park! A place where the kids can really climb and be creative with outdoor play!

    First time to this incredible park! So many options for the kids to play and the landscaping and trees make this park so whimsical! We will be back for sure!

    This place will kind of be like a community center with party and meeting rooms to rent

    Beautiful park that is so well maintained. It is very busy from sun up to sun down. We love to walk the 2 mile loop.

    I thoroughly enjoyed myself watching the historic Argentina vs Cape Verde FIFA Football game here…read moretoday and that's one of the reasons why Chicken n Pickle would hold a very special place in my heart!! Spacious, huge game area oudoors, well maintained pickle ball courts, amazing outdoor bar +coffee stations, plenty of tvs indoors and a large indoor dining area - these were my initial impressions! One big let down were the lack of larger tv screens outside. There might be 1-2 smaller screens outside but they weren't visible. We planned to dine in and sat at one of the tables right in front of the TV, it almost felt like the TV was just for us - the table was that good. We ordered fried pickles, chorizo queso as appetizers and they were fantastic. We ordered a beer and Diet Coke alongside. Pickles stood out in flavor, umami, perfectly fried, moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. Queso was tasty but the flour chips it came with were ok. For our mains, I ordered a chicken quesadillas with grilled corn along with the showme burger. Quesadillas were grilled perfectly with juicy chicken, lots of melted cheese with a crispy golden tortillas. The grilled corn was sweet, Smoky and had a creamy cheesy spicy layer of sauces on the top of it - Lecker!! The Show Me burger was sooo good and high quality that it could be the official Missouri state burger - tender juicy patty with a sauce (similar to in and out sauce) inside soft hamburger buns - emmmmm!!! I was really surprised because the food out here is really great and priced right!! the main dishes were around $13-$14 each and the appetizers were a bit lesser around $10-$11. Overall, the staff was really sweet and they all were working hard to keep the restaurant clean and serve the customers faster. I will be coming in to try the rest of the food and also to play some Pickleball here and I would recommend you all do the same!!

    I was close to going with a 2 on this visit but with it being a busy night I kept it at 3. I was a…read morebit upset with the amount of sauce my sandwich got. The chicken itself tasted pretty good but if this is the amount of sauce they typically put on the sandwich I would ask for some on the side. I asked for the slaw on the side so I could eat some by itself and top the sandwich. Wanted a fork for it but never received one. The spicy slaw definitely had a nice kick. They may not typically have so much outdoor seating available but they need to find a better method of serving food. We must have been asked 10 times if food was ours as the servers didn't know where it went. Hopefully everyone received the food they ordered. Overall it could have been better and could have been worse. Would have loved for the sandwich to have more sauce to it and for the service to have been a little more attentive.

It has a journey on the spot area. It has a smaller parking lot that was quite full and I only saw one family at the playset and then I realized they have multiple Pickleball courts farther down the hill over a little bridge. They were all full and people were enjoying their games. By the pickle ball, they have quite a few picnic tables to watch or the players to place their items. There is also some swings at the park as well. So if you are into Pickleball, it's a nice place to go.

Sure, there…read moreare parks aplenty in Johnson County, but each one of them seems to be carving out a niche in the market. Are you playing pickleball? Bois D'Arc boasts eight pickleball-only courts, lined specifically for the game and braced with fences to help keep games separated. The competition is open and varied in skill level and there is almost always someone looking for partners or a game of doubles. Sure, there are private spots in JoCo, but for a spot run by the municipality, Bois D'Arc is as good as needed. Courts are generally first-come, first-served, but there are leagues & tourneys that get hosted here and those are generally well-marked with time slots advertised. You can also 'reserve' courts for your own functions via the City of Lenexa web site with reasonable rates. The facilities are portalets, so that's not the best, but the courts and play equipment rate all five stars. Get outside!

    I visited this Life Time twice during a recent trip to Overland Park... I worked from their cafe…read moreand worked out a bit as well as took a super quick cold plunge on my first visit. The second time I was in and out pretty quickly for a yoga class and ordered some dinner to go from the cafe. Aside from some construction happening in the parking lot, and the food selection not being as amazing as I was hoping, my experience was super positive. I see they offer tons of classes as well as pickleball and the facility is huge with pretty much any kind of workout equipment you could possibly want. If I lived in the area, I'd likely want to be a member here, but since I don't, I'll settle for being a guest when I visit. Thanks Life Time!

    I had a very disappointing experience at the front desk today with Pat. I came in with my cousin,…read moreand when there was an issue with her guest pass, I tried to understand the policy and what other options were available. Unfortunately, I did not feel that Pat was helpful or interested in helping us find a solution. When I asked about purchasing a day pass instead, her response and facial expression came across as very dismissive. She commented the price of day pass was in a way that made me feel as though she was assuming I couldn't or wouldn't be able to afford it. I completely understand that employees have to follow Life Time's policies, and my issue is not that a policy was enforced. My concern is the way the situation was handled. I would have appreciated a more welcoming and professional approach, especially when I was simply asking questions and trying to understand our options. As a Life Time member, I expect front-desk interactions to feel helpful and respectful, even when the answer to a request is no. Unfortunately, that was not my experience today. Had to cancel the membership.

The service continues to be inconsistent at best--no patio service, long waits, and a general lack of attentiveness--but what's most frustrating is the latest beverage and menu decision. You can no longer order a single glass of wine. Instead, guests are now forced into purchasing a half bottle as the minimum entry point--starting around $25--for a very limited and underwhelming selection (Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc... and that's about it). No Pinot Grigio, no variety, no flexibility. Just a forced upsell on mediocre wine in a casual, outdoor setting. Let's be clear: You can order a single beer. You can order a single cocktail. But you cannot order a single glass of wine. In 2026, that's not just outdated--it's completely out of touch. This approach eliminates choice, discourages responsible and casual consumption, and frankly alienates a large portion of your customer base. What if someone wants just one glass? What if they want to try two different wines? That experience is gone. And the reasoning doesn't hold up. If this is about waste or throughput, there are countless modern solutions--by-the-glass preservation systems, or even high-quality boxed options like Black Box Wines that maintain freshness without forcing customers into higher spend. This feels less like a thoughtful strategy and more like a blunt, revenue-driven decision that ignores the guest experience entirely. So here's the question for leadership: Who is making these menu and beverage decisions--and how does this align with the kind of experience you claim to offer? Because from a guest perspective, this isn't hospitality. It's restriction. I'd genuinely like to hear a response from the team on this. Until then, this is a complete veto for me.
