Tucked into downtown Overland Park steps from shops and restaurants, Thompson Park's small splash pad pairs with a playground featuring a net climber, swings, and slides. Picnic tables and a shelter house make it an easy lunch-plus-splash stop.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, drinking water, playground alongside, parking at this location.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Overland Park average 88°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
How long it's open. Roughly 22 weeks a year, from May to September. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
