The forest as many hedge apple trees, cedars, hackberries. It's not bad for the middle of Kansas, but it's nowhere near the best forest in the Kansas City area. There were brand new, nice pavilions for group gatherings and there was a play area for children that seemed pretty nice. Although it's south of Edgerton it was a relatively quick drive from Olathe.

Disclaimer: Rating for trails/observation tower *only*…read more A good walk or hike in some wide open green spaces will do wonders for the soul. Sure, Kansas can be limited in some of its landscape offerings, but if you don't take advantage of what's right in front of you, then you might miss the beauty that is many of our area lakes & parks. Kill Creek Park is just that beauty. There are trails of various difficulty, but none that are so strenuous that you could not do them with more than moderate effort. You can hike around a forest, around a lake, or you could just hike out in the prairie. There are multiple trails, all of which are well-marked, and they blend together at certain spots. Mountain/trail bikers might share the space at times but I have always had pleasant sharers of the paths. The trails are well-maintained with openings here & there for power to run through and the overall elevation changes are minimal. We've done the 'Outer Hank' several times and the circuit takes less than two hours. Wear your hiking shoes as some of the trails can have tricky steps and keep your eyes open to see nature in front of you. The observation tower is 3+ levels offering different views, all of which open in any direction. There is even an elevator to the top that is in service for most of the year. I suggest an evening view to the west for an optimal Kansas sunset, many of which can't be replicated. If you want mountains or beach, then you won't find it here. But if you want the peaceful, pastoral open skies of the West, then Kill Creek offers you just a taste of nature can do.

My husband and I were in the area so we decided to bring our grandson to this park. I would never…read moresuggest anyone bring their children to this park! We pulled into the parking lot and there were quite a few cars. We started walking towards the playground, which is right next to a covered picnic area. There were no children when we first arrived, the playground just had grown men hanging out. There were grown men hanging out under the picnic shelter, a few acted like they were on drugs. There were men playing cards, men sitting on benches that were facing the playground and just talking on their phone. Older teens, hanging out underneath climbing toys. We left within five minutes and we would've left sooner had our two year-old grandson, not spied some playground equipment towards the back section. As we were leaving and looking by the lake, there were a few people fishing, but then I noticed homeless people living around the lake. I would definitely never suggest bringing a child to this park. It was also unkept with trash around it. It's really a shame because the lake itself looks pretty and the playground probably was updated not too long ago and has Astroturf underneath, but the whole atmosphere makes it unsafe. As we were leaving another family brought a couple of children to the park, but that is all of the children we saw at the park in general.

Heritage Park is pretty great for a variety of reasons: it's HUGE, it has tons of walking/hiking…read morepaths, it has a massive soccer complex, and honestly there is likely even more I haven't explored. It's pretty far south, so plan to drive even if you live in central JOCO like me - it's a solid 25 mins. It's convenient for me to visit when I'm out near my parent's new house though so that's a perk and has been what brings me here on occasion. A few years ago we also did soccer here and honestly I'd recommend doing soccer elsewhere. Parking is horrible and it's kind of a cluster. Overall the park itself is nice and fun to explore, but up to you on if it's worth the drive.

Lovely day to get out and about. Not too crowded for a late Sunday afternoon…read more Even for Wintertime, it's scenic enough to walk the area for some pretty views. The paved trail is clearly marked with signs to help one find bathrooms, marina, disc golf, etc. They have spaces for kids and families at the Beaver Shelt, as well as a music park section near the Eagle Landing Building. There are at least two car charging stations at the marina. There may be more around the park itself, but I did not happen to come across any.

This review is for the Ernie Miller summer camp offered here each year through Johnson County Parks…read moreand Rec. as we've been sending one of our kids here for most of the summer. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect from an outside nature camp, but pulling up to Ernie Miller each day something that's made really clear from the staff is how dedicated they are to making sure your kids have a fun time all summer long. The camp counselors are super engaging and great with the kids. I love that my kiddo gets to learn about local animals and nature while at Ernie Miller, and also that they go on fun field trips which spice things up each week. Additionally they are on top of weather changes and take the kids inside if there is lightning. I've been watching as a new facility is being built at Ernie Miller and I can't wait to come back sometime when they are done and further explore the nature trails and the new building.

And we were actually the only people on the inside of the nature center, so we got to enjoy it in a peaceful environment. There were some field trip kids having event events outside. My grandson enjoyed exploring, but I was disappointed to see that quite a few of the displays were out of order. Also, I had to tell staff that there was a mouse in bird nature viewing area. A child had left a cracker, and apparently a mouse had gotten in was taking advantage of it! But then I went into the newer section with the displays and another mouse ran out and was running around the room towards my grandson. So I think they need to correct this issue before it gets too out of hand. The trails are great and the natural gardens are as well. They have some great programs for the community. I just think that some of the displays need to be fixed and taking care of the pest problem, I'm sure if they let the hawk in there he would handle it! lol
