General Information

This semi-regional park, land for which was acquired in 1971/1972, 1986/1987 and 1995, features a 1.6 mile nature trail along Chisholm Creek which includes a wetlands area. Land and Water Conservation Funds, provided by the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks and the National Park Service, have been used to develop this park. The park area south of the K-96 bypass has been designated a Wichita Wild Habitat area.

The Great Plains Nature Center is also located within the park and is a cooperative effort between local, State and federal governments to provide an educational opportunity to the public.
