Discovering Youngs Park
Youngs Park is more versatile than other parks. It offers softball and baseball fields, a playground, and a pool. The Young pool is quite popular among the community. Youngs Park is a 14.5-acre park located in Overland Park, Kansas. The playground is located behind a wall of trees behind the park and past the baseball and softball fields. The playground itself is not that impressive.
This park does offer good amenities. I grew up going to this park to play softball. The popular part of this park is the pool. Every once in a while, a small game will be played on the fields. One of the fields is located right next to the busy Antioch Road. That is a downside to this park, it doesn't have a lot of safety around it. There is a hazard of getting hit. It is located at the neighborhood's corner and is easily accessible to all. You can turn right off Antioch Road just past the intersection of 75th and Antioch, and you will find it.
There is a little walking path you can take to take a quick little stroll if you're walking your dog or just want to get a bit of exercise in. The park is not as popular in the winter compared to it in the summer for obvious reasons.
Youngs Park was more popular in prior years. The park and playground are a bit run down now and don't look as appealing to the eye. The park does not offer a lot compared to the other parks around these days. I would say that visiting this park isn't a must, but if you have the time and want something to do, then go play a game of softball or baseball on the fields. if it is summertime, then go to the pool. There is a good community that comes with Youngs Park, but the park itself is not amazing.
