Strang Park

✓ Last confirmed for the 2026 season

Often called the best playground in the metro, Strang packs in in-ground trampolines, a 30-foot slide, turf hills, and a farmers-market-themed toddler area. The whole playground is fully fenced and well shaded, with plenty of seating for adults.

Accessibility

Accessible. Recorded as wheelchair accessible — step-free routes to the equipment.

When to go

Comfortable weather in Overland Park runs roughly March to October. Midsummer highs average 88°F, hot enough that dark equipment and rubber surfacing sting by mid-afternoon. Winter lows average 20°F, so the cold months are short-visit territory.
