Electric Park in Lenexa has been on my radar for some time now. The city of Lenexa will often have events there that are on the Macaroni Kid Johnson County calendar. They have a large green space there that is great for outdoor movies and live music. Every picture I had seen of this park looked really neat and I could not wait to check it out.
Electric Park has two playgrounds for twice the fun.
The largest playground is geared for the older kids and kids who love to climb. Is your child always trying to climb up your cabinets, counters, or whatever is closest when you turn your back for two minutes? This is the park for you! There are a rope climbing area and plenty of equipment just for climbing up. There is also equipment there for working on balance. This area had an obstacle course feel to me. So that is exactly what we did! I would time my son as he made his way around the playground and he had a blast. It is also under a large shade. That makes this the perfect park for a hot day or even a light rain.
Since I only had my six-year-old with me this day we did not play on the smaller playground, but I did check it out. It is built for children ages two through five years old. It had everything a regular playground would have, but low to the ground and miniature. It had a small slide, small monkey bars, and small spinning equipment. If you have a toddler or preschooler this playground is a dream come true. This playground is also shaded. However, still use caution. We went on a summer morning and even in the shade, the slide was too hot to use. There are also both swings and baby swings.
Electric Park has extras for the whole family to join in on the fun.
Electric Park is a lot more than playgrounds. There is a large green space which would be great for playing catch, flying a kite, or having a picnic. Sporting practices or pick up games can be played on a first come first serve basis in the open space too. There is a sand volleyball court, a half basketball court, and horseshoes. There is also everything you need to have a day of fun without needing to leave as well. There are bathrooms, shelter with picnic tables, and drinking fountains. There is also a large parking lot. This makes unloading the kids and all the things needed for a day at the park a breeze. It is a park where all ages can have tons of fun!
