If your area is lucky enough to have facilities like Okun, then consider yourself fortunate. Youth sports are growing across the country and having climate-controlled facilities for nearly year-round competition gives a community a significant advantage.
Okun Fieldhouse is found in northwest JoCo and houses enough space for eight concurrent volleyball matches/basketball games. There are electronic scoreboards for each area and plenty of viewing space for families & spectators. There is even a small concessions area should you just need to have a little something extra during some of these youth activities.
Entry is generally free as the youth sports have been paid for, but if there is a competition going on, then there may be an admittance fee. There is a ton of parking, even if there is a softball tournament going on just to the south. And if you find yourself with extra time between matches, then you can walk the northern vestiges of the Gary Hallier Trail, which runs from the Kansas River all the way down to Olathe.
Great setting and great facilities, always with a purpose and enthusiastic family fun. read more
