The Wichita Park System has come a long
way since it was established in the 1920's
by L.W. Clapp. Clapp's vision of Wichita
incorporated a vital urban community with
adequate public parks and open spaces to
provide every Wichita citizen with the
opportunity to enjoy nature without
traveling far from home.
Today our park system is composed of 84
parks, as well as a number of public open
spaces that total over 3,800 acres of land.
A system of greenways, or recreation
corridors consisting of small parcels of
open space land, are planned to ultimately
connect many of the City's major parks and
provide additional hiking and biking
opportunities to citizens. The Wichita Park
Department acts as steward for this land, as
well as for our riparian and urban forest
system, by maintaining the landscape of over
12,000 acres of city-owned property. |
The Wichita Park System offers recreation
opportunities to its citizens that range from both
organized and individual activities at ten community
Recreation Centers, twelve swimming pools,
fifty-five softball and baseball fields, and also
offers recreation through its hiking, biking and
fitness trails.
Parks and natural areas designated as "Wichita
Wild Habitat Areas" make up nearly 30% of total park
acres, and offer citizens an opportunity to
experience wildlife and plants in a natural setting.
Wichita Wild naturalists provide nature programs in
many of these areas to educate the public about
plants and animals native to our area. In addition,
the Great Plains Nature Center, a joint venture
between the United States Department of the
Interior; Fish and Wildlife Service; Kansas
Department of Wildlife and Parks; and the City of
Wichita, Department of Parks and Recreation provides
an education facility for the public to learn more
about natural resources, especially the wildlife and
habitats of the Great Plains region.
Botanica, the Wichita Gardens, provides the
community with 9 ½ acres of landscaped gardens that
appeal to a broad range of horticultural tastes.
Visitors can stroll through a formal rose garden,
linger to watch butterflies attracted to the flowers
in the gated Butterfly Garden, or enjoy the graceful
fountain in the Shakespearean Garden.
All facets of recreation, whether passive or
active, can be found in our Wichita parks and add
beauty enrichment to the lives of all its citizens.
Park Department employees take pride in working to
provide Wichita with the best park system possible.
