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'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!

We stopped at a group of people watching a beaver resting on the spillway. A couple of nice picnic pavilions and (remarkably) clean restrooms have shaded playgrounds for kids. The real treat is a professional-grade Disc Golf course. For the less adventurous or for practice is a second, small course. All in all, a gem of a Lenexa park!

I appreciate it that the play areas we went to had partial shade from the alcove of trees. There was a variety of play sets spread out with natural features of tree stumps and such for the kids to climb on. They had a lot of nice walking plaques to explain the walking trail. The golfing disc course was nice because a lot ofit was shaded. We will definitely go back to check out more of it when it is less hot.

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.

Afterwards, they tried out all the neat equipment and they especially liked the long rope bridge and sliding down the slide. The park also has a trail and is kept up well and a large parking lot.

Within this park are modernized play equipment (read: rubber mulch, safer climbing areas, etc.), two sand volleyball pits, a walking trail that is about 1/3 mile per circuit, and a community garden. There are restroom facilities, there is gracious green space, and there is plenty of parking, so what's not to get all the stars? The hidden hook is the community garden. There is an amazing space divided into multiple plots with irrigation, protection from critters, and plenty of growing areas. Those who have gone through the process to obtain a plot are growing squash, tomatoes, herbs, cabbages, and more. Gardening is an attestation to the power of green space and our love for attending to all things earth. To do so as part of community-provided garden beds is even better as often times the output of community gardens are invested back into the neighborhoods at large. Electric Park is wonderful in any season and open year round. Make three laps around the paved circuit to book a mile or allow the littles to play on the updated equipment. Enjoy the space, the openness, and the amenities provided in southwest Lenexa.
