Accessing JCPRD Parks During Inclement Weather

Even when winter storms require JCPRD parks to be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic, all district parks remain open to pedestrian access. If you are parking your car and entering a park on foot, please be sure your vehicle is legally parked and not blocking the park entrance or roadway.

The outstanding parks and recreational resources managed by the Johnson County Park and Recreation District are among Johnson County's most popular - and valuable - community assets. Last year alone over six million visitations were recorded in District parks and facilities.

The tremendous popularity of our parks and the wide variety of recreational opportunities they provide is a reflection of the vital role the District plays in making Johnson County one of the most livable communities in America.

Whether learning to sail on Shawnee Mission Park Lake, playing softball or basketball in a recreational league, or just finding a peaceful space to get away from it all, we encourage you to take the time to explore and enjoy each and every one of our parks and facilities.
