Roe Park in Overland Park (10400 Roe) features an awesome spray ground along with playgrounds for a wide range of ages, shelters, soccer and baseball fields and a loop trail. You can easily spend hours here playing but bring the sunscreen because there is little shade to be found.

Mom Tips
- The spray park is activated by buttons on the sides of the water features. Stomp on them and the water will turn back on.
- Bring towels for enjoying playground equipment on hot days – that plastic gets HOT.
- Sonic, McLains and Winsteads are right across the street for a treat or lunch after playing.
- The spray park is less crowded during the evening hours in the summer.
