Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park is a wonderful community park in Lenexa. It has facilities offering a variety of recreational opportunities. Some of the main features are: Skateboard park, Disc golf course, Picnic shelters, Aquatic center, and Sand volleyball courts. In construction are Ice rink and tennis courts. The trails are concrete paved and good for walking running. The trails total approximately three miles long. The park is beautiful with a small lake called Rose Pond being the main feature; fishing is allowed with Kansas license. The pedestrian bridge across the pond is beautifully designed. Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park is very apt for leisurely walk or for active sports. It’s next door neighbor is the historic Legler Barn Museum.

Lawrence Riverfront Park is a nature park in the beautiful outdoors on the bank of Kansas River. It is located in the flood plains (on the river side of the levy), so some areas could be water-logged under rainy conditions. The entrance road is attractively bordered with large boulders. Recreational opportunities include: Disc golf course, Hiking trail, Dog park, and Boat launch access to the river. My visit was mainly for hiking, but unfortunately there was no trail map posted anywhere. But a trail was quite visible from the parking lot, and I hiked may be about a mile and a half before the trail became covered with overgrown vegetation and spider webs. It is a nice shady trail under pretty large trees. The trail basically follows the river bank. Sadly, I saw some uncivil people letting their dogs roam free on the trail. I saw a few birds also; one of the birders I came across said the timing was not right due to the hot day. Lawrence Riverfront Park is pretty good for a short visit unless you are getting on the river. The levy trail is also accessible from the park.
