Black Hoof Park

Oh, where to begin. Just by reading the couple of reviews this park had it made me want to come and check this place out. It was just as described. It was also easy to find as well. I didn’t put in the address and it take me down weird streets or in the opposite direction as the place. Can’t always trust your technology haha Anyways. I pull up to the park and there’s a good sized sign out front. Can’t miss it. There is also multiple places to park, which is nice.
Drove passed the entrance so I could go across the bridge and check out that way. Lovely bridge and its got good sized walk way to so your not hugging the wall every time you pass someone jogging, riding a bike, etc. Turn around and pull in, park. Got all my gear ready and headed on over to check out the area. Its got a boat ramp and next to that is a little dock for boats or for fishing off of. When I got there there was a guy fishing off the dock and a guy fishing off his boat.
This place is also kid friendly as well. Plenty of space to run and there’s some playgrounds so if you need them to burn off some of that energy before nap time it would be perfect. Before the playground you cross over a nice wooden bridge that has a little water around it. Might be some minnows swimming around in there. Further along the walk way there are numerous spaces off to the side where people can go fishing. They are also clear of moss and lily pads so you won’t snag up when you try and cast out. There are also plenty of benches along the way too so if you get tired you can take a breather.
I must say this is one clean park. I haven’t seen much litter, a few things here and there, but for the most part its very clean. Good place for a picnic, a walk, jog, bike ride, fishing. If you want a table there are a couple of shelters. On my walk around the lake I seen turtles, kids playing, squirrels, lots of turtles, crows, a photographer taking pictures and no snakes. Thank goodness. If your looking for a new place to check out I highly recommend this park.

Great park, AWESOME fishing. Very well maintained and beautifully landscaped. Actually would love to buy a house in the area.

This is a very well-​maintained, visually enticing, activity-​filled park. The landscaping is beautiful. The shelter and restrooms are large, new, clean and very nice. There are several large play areas for children with various climbing structures, bridges, swings, and slides. There is a little wooded area with logs the children can walk on to challenge their balance and have fun. There is a landscaped creek for playing in. There is a splash zone and a sand pit. There is also, of course, the good-​sized Lake Lenexa next door for added draw. This park ranks high on the list of area parks for kids.
