Hands On The Heartland
Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market
Heritage Park in Olathe Kansas is one of Kansas City’s largest and best parks. Located in southern Johnson County Kansas, Heritage Park is a 1,200+ acre park. The park is a destination spot for locals looking for playgrounds, picnic areas and trails. Heritage Park also has stables, an off-leash area for dogs, a 40-acre lake with a marina, while also boasting the 18-hole Heritage Park championship golf course on the west side of the park.
Heritage Park is part of the Johnson County Park and Recreation District and the park has been a major recreation destination since 1981. The park also has many activity fields including softball fields close to the center of the park, soccer fields on the far southwest portion of the park and football fields to the northeast. I played football on these fields as an 8th grader in 1984. Now, 25 years later, my son is getting the same enjoyment playing football on these fields.
The park is located just south of 159th and Pflumm Road in Olathe and can also be accessed on the west side of the park just south of 159th and Blackbob (Lackman Road). From the trails to the lake, you can view nature at its finest at Heritage Park. Here’s a Heritage Park map to show you the vast recreation options at the park and be sure to note the main trail around the park with many smaller off-shoot trails as well.
