Parks and Trails
I adore this place! Beautiful, scenic, and wonderfully peaceful. They host multiple events and classes throughout the year so be sure to check them out!
Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens
My Mum is an avid gardener and I take her here every year for Mother's Day 💐❤️. Such a beautiful place to walk through.
Powell Gardens | Enjoy the Spirit of the Midwest in Kansas City
The trails in this park go on for miles and miles throughout Lenexa, Shawnee, Olathe, and beyond. The lake has canoe rentals in the summer and Theater in the Park hosts events on the north side of the park.
Facilities • Shawnee Mission Park
Tucked away on the west side of Olathe is this total gem of a park. Fantastic trails, playground for the kids, blue water, and best of all it's rarely busy.
Facilities • Kill Creek Park - JCPRD.com
I'm completely biased about this place bc I grew up going here but it's truly one of the best small parks in Lenexa!
Black Hoof Park - City of Lenexa, KS

My favorite large KC nursery! They have quite literally everything you could possibly need for your indoor/outdoor gardening needs.
