Bennett Park

We found this park by accident and I'm glad we did. The City of Prairie Village removed toddler friendly equipment from the park near our house. This park is great alternative, even if it's a short bike or drive rather than walking distance. Open field, great equipment, shelter, and a trail. Hidden gem.

Bennett Park offers a quaint spot to hang out with the kids or get away for some much needed privacy. Basically, Bennett is a square, its boundaries formed by trees on all four sides. It creates this little tucked away spot that feels rather intimate and protective. BP is using the coolest thing for landscaping ever-recycled rubber tread from tries. Colored in a rusty brown, I almost thought they were some type of wood chips until they gave way as I stepped on creating a very spongy walking experience. Do try. It's a great use of recycling-replacing the chance of splinters from wood and the reuse of materials.BP is a small park but has a pretty rockin' jungle gym along with a merry-go-round, basketball goal and miniature baseball/soccer field. I did get drunk though. No, alcohol isn't allowed in these places but it might as well have been after my stint on this other weird piece of equipment I can only describe as a one-man merry-go-round. I stood up straight while being spun around and completely lost all sense of direction and clear vision. BP should be on your list for a small getaway simply because of its quaint appeal and private ambiance.

this park is within walking distance of our new home and how lucky are we to have it so close.they have a great play area, including a jungle gym and swings. there's also a small field. as the weather gets nicer, I know we'll be spending much more time here!I like the size and that it's not too monstrous. I haven't been here when it's crowded so I don't know how crazy it will get.so far, so good!
