Cherokee Park

Location and Overview

Nestled between the Glenwood Estates and Cherokee Hills neighborhoods in Overland Park, Kansas, Cherokee Park spans a cozy 3.5 acres. This little lush escape offers a clean, welcoming space where families can unwind and play, as a fantastic neighborhood retreat when you need a dose of outdoor time.

Recreational Amenities

Kids will love the recently renovated playground with its swings and jungle gym. The updated equipment provides a safe place for little ones to burn off energy while parents can relax nearby.

Got basketball fans in the family? The Doug Roth basketball court is something of a local legend, considered one of the best outdoor courts around. No need to book ahead or pay a fee - just show up with your ball and join the game.

When lunchtime rolls around, head to the covered picnic shelter where you can enjoy your meal in the shade, protected from both sun and surprise rain showers.

Connectivity

In 2023, Cherokee Park became even more accessible thanks to a new 10-foot-wide trail along 91st Street that connects it to Meadowbrook Park. This thoughtful addition isn't just about linking two green spaces - it also creates a safe pathway for people walking from nearby neighborhoods to the shops along Metcalf Avenue.

Visitor Information

Keep in mind that Cherokee Park is primarily designed to serve the surrounding neighborhoods, so you won't find a dedicated parking lot here. If you're driving in, you'll need to park on the residential streets nearby. During popular times, spaces might be limited, so consider visiting during off-peak hours if possible.
