Electric Park

It's a park. If you are seeking five-star amenities, meh, then maybe you're overthinking it because it's a PARK.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.

This place freaked me out. It says, Electric Park, so you're like, "Mmh, that's a coold name." Then you get there and it's like, BAM, Power station! There's literally a power station next to it. I know it's perfectly safe, but I swear I could hear the electricity just behind me. I had a sort of, Peter Parker, I'm going to turn into spiderman sort of vibe while I visited, so before anything nefarious could take hold, we high-tailed it out of there!There's more suitable places for toddlers to play than next to 1,000,000 volts of electricity. But maybe you like technology.

Nice neighborhood park. Newer playgrounds with sun shades, bathrooms, and covered picnic tables make this a great place to spend the afternoon. Volleyball courts, basketball courts, a walking trail, and a community garden are also available.

This place is pretty nice but small. The sand volleyball courts are usually empty, but the sand is better than most. There are no lines and very little trees to help with the sun. There's also a really cute community garden and a nice playground where kids can play. The playground doesn't come with the usual mulch but the nicer rubber ones.Overall, a really nice and quaint park that most don't really know about.
