The OW Fishing Club had a great time at Kill Creek Park this morning! Although the fish were stingy, many students were able to figure them out.

Last night was IncrediBULL! Took these amazing aurora photos on the far south side of Big Bull Creek Park near Edgerton, KS. It was simply amazing to experience the #NorthernLights this far south. Let us know if you got any amazing photos of them too in the KC metro area.

It was great to see Darrell out today at Shawnee Mission Park. You may see him out there running at times. He has been coming to the park to run daily since the 1980’s. Give him a wave if you see him. #CityHallSelfie

We need a Wee Links Golf in the KC Northland! Loved the little 6 hole course at Heritage Park Golf Course. It was perfect for the girls! Perfect to grow the game with young golfers!

Johnson County Park crews were hard at work removing several large trees that were swept away by Monday’s floods. Live at 6 @KCTV5‘s @samantha_boring shows you how they are preparing for yet another round of storms. @JCPRDparks

Due to the very heavy rain we received, all JCPRD paved trails that go along creeks (Coffee Creek Streamway Park, Cedar Niles Parks, Kill Creek Streamway Park, and Mill Creek Streamway Park) are closed due to flooding and debris. Closures through at least Wed. July 3 for cleanup.

John Diemer Summer Camp kids celebrated #WorldMusicDay by listening to Phaedra Moll play a harp! OST Program Director Lea Giesbrecht also played a song in a duet with Phaedra. This is just one of many fun activities that kids get to enjoy through Children’s Services summer camps!
