Playgrounds

A guide to our favorite local playgrounds (and some information on many others in the area).

Skylar at R Park

Star ratings

5 stars:

Best parks in the area. Could stay all day. Worth driving across town to visit.

4 stars:

Great parks you could spend a few hours at. Worth going out of your way to visit.

3 stars:

Good parks for a quicker stop. Worth visiting if you’re already nearby.

Sammy at Shawnee Mission Park Inclusive Playground

Note: These ratings are all personal opinion and my only goal here is to help decide which parks are better for a quick stop vs a long visit. We frequent many of the 3 star parks because they’re sometimes easier and better for a quick stop – definitely not trying to discourage anyone from visiting them!
