Cessna West Park

History and Layout

Cessna West Park was donated by the Cessna Aircraft Company in 1960. It forms one of two triangular tracts created when the Kansas Turnpike cut through Wichita. While its northeast counterpart focuses on sports facilities, Cessna West Park is dedicated to leisure and nature-oriented activities.

Recreational Opportunities

The park offers diverse outdoor amenities that make it a popular spot for picnicking, walking, and disc golf. Its expansive green spaces provide a peaceful environment for visitors to enjoy.

Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of various trails, including a bike trail and access to the Gypsum Creek Bicycle Path. This multi-use path serves walkers, joggers, and cyclists alike.

Natural Features

For nature lovers, the Wichita Wild Habitat Area within the park offers an opportunity to explore local flora and fauna in a more natural setting.

The park's open spaces and tranquil environment create a peaceful reprieve from the urban surroundings.

Facilities and Amenities

The park is equipped with picnic shelters, scattered picnic tables, and restrooms, making it suitable for gatherings or a relaxing day outdoors.

Disc golf enthusiasts will appreciate the 18-hole disc golf course established in 2017. The course attracts recreational players and offers challenging layouts with some elevation changes.

The well-maintained amenities throughout the park ensure a comfortable visit for all guests.
