About the Location
Recreation Spots
Positioned in the Milburn neighborhood of Overland Park, Kansas, Antioch Acres Park sprawls across 10.8 acres of welcoming green space. It's a pleasant community spot with a variety of recreational options.
Pickleball players will find two dedicated outdoor hard courts with permanent lines and nets already set up. No reservation needed; just show up and play. Keep in mind though, once the sun sets, you'll need to wrap up your games as there's no lighting for evening matches.
If tennis is more your speed, you'll come across courts here too. And for those who prefer to keep moving, a lovely loop trail meanders through the grounds - ideal for your morning jog, afternoon walk, or simply stretching your legs while enjoying some fresh air.
Family Fun Zone
Got little ones in tow? The playground area is a hit with younger children, offering a cozy, tucked-away spot for play. It's not huge - just one regular swing and one baby swing - but sometimes simple is best, right?
Planning a family gathering or birthday celebration? The park's large picnic shelter can be reserved ahead of time, but you're welcome to use it first-come, first-served if it's available. Just a heads-up that it's positioned quite far from the parking area, which might be challenging if you're bringing lots of supplies or have mobility issues. Throughout the park, you can find picnic tables and benches scattered about, excellent for a casual lunch or a quiet moment with a good book.
Layout and Vibe
Don't let the modest parking lot fool you - this park opens up into a surprisingly spacious retreat once you're inside. There's plenty of open terrain for impromptu frisbee games, kite flying, or whatever spontaneous fun you might dream up.
What really stands out here is the peaceful atmosphere. Shady spots abound, and the play areas are set back from the parking lot, creating a quiet sanctuary that feels removed from the hustle of everyday life. It's the kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think.
Good to Know
The practical stuff: yes, there are restroom facilities and a drinking fountain for your convenience. The dedicated parking lot makes access straightforward, but it's not particularly large.
The park welcomes visitors daily from 5AM to 10PM. Being nestled in a residential neighborhood makes it an especially convenient retreat for locals - a convenient green space for the surrounding neighborhood.
