I visited for one reason, to fish. Traffic was light though as day wore one I had to work around folks. Good catching with 6 different species. Solid action although the fish were mostly on small side. Use restroom before visiting as those are the park are nasty.Theres plenty of mowed grass, plenty of area to roam. Other than plenty of parking, picnic tables, fishing, canoe launch, and walking not much else.

Its a nice stop if your needing to get out and play for few moments. Better for older kids, tennis, soccer practice or an outdoor gathering.

Dad Perry Park is a great little park with plenty of green grass areas. They have soccer fields, but in a slightly run down way of having soccer fields.The park hosts a gazebo, picnic tables, and more that serve as a great spot for large or small groups to have a bbq.Playground equipment, tennis courts, and plenty of parking.

This was one park we do not plan on going back to. Though its situated in a nice neighborhood the park doesnt fit in.Pros.Wooded area that makes you feel like youre not in the city.Wonderful place to see birds.Tons of grassy areas.Two areas with playground equipmentsCons.Tons of spiders and spiderwebs on the trails.Dirty playground equiment at the larger area.The smaller playground didnt have much to do.There was one rusted soccer goal for games.

So many parks have no shade in Kansas...this is one of them. Very very hot in the summer and snowy in the winter. Pointless!
