I am definitely in love with this park. Located at 133rd and Mission in Leawood, this is a really nice, well thought out park. The play structure is unique and has tunnels and a shade as well as some really nice slides. There is a sandbox with concrete shells to uncover. But the highlight is the water. There is a large "pond" and a stream that runs through the entire park. The water is only a couple of inches deep and pretty clean. The water does not go through the sandbox, which is nice for cleanliness, but not so good for building.
This is a really well designed park, however, there were a few things that were a deterrent- first is the lack of shade. We were here in July, and it was HOT. I didn't touch the slides, and the kids didn't complain, but the structure is in full sun, so maybe not the best park for a summer afternoon. Also, the rocks in the water were slippery. Nothing to be done about this, just the nature of water, but if your kids have water shoes or something like that, it might be helpful. Even some of the older kids I saw there slipped.
