Fees increase for some Parks and Recreation amenities

Visitors to some Overland Park Parks and Recreation amenities may notice an increase in fee prices beginning in April 2023.

Fees will be increasing for services at the following facilities:

  • Thompson Park – stage rentals
  • Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead – admission prices, birthday parties and pavilion rental
  • Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens – admission prices and rental spaces
  • Pools – outdoor pool admission, memberships and swim lessons
  • Community Centers – admission, memberships, group exercise, personal training, rental spaces and child watch

To learn more about prices at specific facilities, please refer to the fee schedule.

The City reviews and updates fees on a regular basis. The cost of operating our facilities has increased and thus, fees are increasing.

Parks and Recreation fees operate on a cost recovery model, meaning our rates are as low as possible while still covering the department’s operating and maintenance costs. 

We appreciate your understanding.
