Dr. Glen Dey Park, formerly Grove Park, was our only park on Sunday. It’s located at 2801 N. Grove. The east entrance is on North Hillside, near the Union Rescue Mission. The Wichita Parks and Rec site says there’s two playgrounds here, one on the east side and one on the west side. But we … More #42. Dr. Glen Day Park
I was blessed as a child to have a dad who was (and still is) a kid at heart. He took me and my little sisters to parks almost every weekend during the summer. One of my favorite parks we visited was Riverside Park. We picnicked there, played and had a lot of great family … More #41. Riverside Park – Central
Down the street from Riverside Park North is Oak Park (1100 W. 11th Street North). You’ll see an old stone arch and walking trails when you first drive by the park. The path by the arch leads to a lily pond that is full of frogs and tadpoles! This park has one of the … More #40. Oak Park
Riverside Park was our first stop on Saturday afternoon. We started at Riverside North, near Park Villa. Park Villa is a beautiful shelter that you can rent. I’ve been to a few parties there and it’s where Weston’s Pre-K graduation was held. It’s perfect for gatherings! It was built in 1912, and much of … More #39. Riverside Park – North
Sherwood Park was not on our list, since it wasn’t on the Wichita Parks and Rec site, but we drove by and couldn’t resist. The park is off of Meridian and 96 (3796 Womer Street), next to the Sedgwick County Law Enforcement Training Center. The old metal play structure caught our attention and we couldn’t … More #38.

Sycamore Park was amazing! We hit this park on Wednesday and the boys loved it! It’s located near 13th and West Street (3637 W. 15th). The coolest part? The park had TWO merry-go-rounds! A little one and a bigger one, and they were both great. And a rope climbing pyramid that Weston calls the Eiffel … More #37. Sycamore Park
Our first stop Wednesday night was Columbine Park. It’s located to the north of McLean Science and Technology Magnet at 2319 Columbine (near Twin Lakes). I thought for sure this park was going to have a playground, since it’s so near to an elementary school (all of the others in close proximity have had them). … More #36. Columbine Park
Redbud Park is in the neighborhood south of 21st Street and west of Woodlawn, at 5502 E. 19th Street North. Interesting tidbit about this park: according to the Parks and Rec website, the City got this land from Wichita Public Schools (USD 259) in 1981! We’ve seen three merry-go-rounds on our quest, and two of … More #35. Redbud Park
Eastview Park is located on east 13th Street near Rock Road and to the south of Coleman Middle School. One cool thing about this park is the fitness trail that goes through it. Wichita Parks and Rec’s website says the trail is .77 miles and has 20 exercise stops. Weston called it the ninja … More #34. Eastview Park
Veterans Memorial Park is the only park we hit today, and it was worth it. Shady and beautifully serene, it was fitting for a memorial park. It is located along the river at 339 N. Greenway. Each one of the wars the United States has been involved in is represented by a marker. Weston was … More #33. Veterans Memorial Park
